Adolescent Brain Growth
In this presentation, participants will be provided with an overview of the astounding development of the human brain during adolescence. They will
walk away being able to identify at least three ways the brain matures during adolescence, how this growth impacts emotional experiences and social
participation, and understand how this particular period of brain development can uncover mental health illness. This information will be used to
identify therapeutic techniques appropriate during the period of development.

Managing Cutting and other Self-Injurious Behaviors
This course will present current demographic and statistical data regarding self-injury, including age-of-onset, gender differences, and current
prevalence rates. We will examine and explain the reasons why individuals engage in self-injury. Also, practical and concrete interventional
strategies will be presented and illustrated. Several case studies will help attendees gain a solid “real-world” understanding of what is self-injury.
May 13th, 2015
Dr. Michael Wolff (PsyD) (ABPdN), and Dr. Jennifer Cochran (PsyD), BRAINS
The Brain, The Labels, The Dilemma: Using Assessment to find Function and Treatment
The course will review the importance of continuing to integrate medical and mental knowledge in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. Things that
can be described, but do not exist in the manuals and are thus “squeezed into” billable diagnostics. There is the need for assessment accuracy and
blending comorbid medical factors to create simplicity from complexity, while using the information to coordinate clinical care. Join us for an
educational discourse addressing these challenges. Forest Hills Schools are closed
