This is critical information for all of us, as we all need to understand our mental health and the neurological underpinnings of how things work in our brains – especially when we work with or care for adolescents. I highly recommend all of the resources!

As a mom of a new teenager and neuroscientist I loved this pamphlet on so many levels! It can be difficult to describe a complex topic like the brain, but Dr. Yilman uses diagrams, analogies and simple explanations to demystify adolescent brain development. Through reading this pamphlet, I better understand the major developmental forces at play in my teenager’s brain, as well as simple things I can do to help him develop healthier coping mechanisms. This well-researched resource helps me be informed and compassionate rather than judgmental as a parent, and helps me be a better neuroscience resource to clients of all ages as well!
