The course also offers additional resources specific to the role of educators in teenagers' lives, presents a case study for participants to explore with peers in the course, and encourages discussion with participants around a central question or theme in the reading.

" Educators have the opportunity to teach parents about what adolescent development looks like. I believe that educators are the right people to help parents understand what that healthy development looks like, what they can expect, and how to handle normal challenges with confidence. Schools can provide granular and specific, and essential guidance about mental health and resilience. No one else can help parents the way that educators can, and your help has never been more necessary. " Lisa Damour Ph.D. |
