INTEGRATING ADOLESCENT BRAIN DEVELOPMENT INTO CHILD WELFARE PRACTICE WITH OLDER YOUTH: SELF-Paced Electronic Documents
•This self-directed learning will allow interested persons to use the materials to • Become knowledgeable about adolescent brain development and its influences on adolescent thinking and behavior. •Learn how to engage adolescents in understanding the impact of their life experiences on them and to promote positive youth development. •Identify how trauma affects brain development and impacts learning. Drawing from research and the new NASW curriculum, Integrating Adolescent Brain Development into Child Welfare Practice with Older Youth, developed with support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, participants will learn how brain development influences thinking and behavior; understand the link between early life trauma and the opportunity that adolescent brain development provides for healing; recognize how positive youth development principles can enhance outcomes for older youth; and recognize the value of using a strengths-based approach in authentically partnering with adolescents. The curriculum includes considerations on socio-cultural assumptions, and how practitioners’ implicit biases impact working with young people. Guidance on how the materials can be used for training and practice change.
This self-study opportunity from NASW provides an opportunity to earn the 3 CEUs by studying the curriculum, listening to the related audios, viewing the videos, doing the exercises in the handouts and reading the Annie E. Casey report, The Road to Adulthood: Aligning Child Welfare Systems with Adolescent Brain Development available at https://www.aecf.org/resources/the-road-to-adulthood/. Integrating Adolescent Brain Development into Child Welfare Practice with Older Youth Curriculum includes 13 modules, covering adolescent development, adolescent brain science and its implications for working with older youth, including healing from trauma. Modules also cover positive youth development and strategies for changing practice. The format includes didactic information as well as large and small group discussions and exercises as well as self-assessment materials. There are accompanying handouts and worksheets as well as PowerPoint slides. There are also links to several audios and videos embedded into the curriculum as well as links to Annie E. Casey Foundation and NASW relevant resources. If using the curriculum in full, it was developed as a two-day in-person training, with 12 hours of training materials. It can be adapted for on-line learning, and content can be infused into current courses on working with older youth. Handouts and PowerPoint slides are included with the materials. It is recommended that those who use the curriculum also read The Road to Adulthood: Aligning Child Welfare Systems with Adolescent Brain Development, https://www.aecf.org/resources/the-road-to-adulthood/ The learning objectives for using these materials are: •To become knowledgeable about adolescent brain development and its influences on adolescent thinking and behavior. •To learn how to engage adolescents in understanding the impact of their life experiences on them and to promote positive youth development. •To identify how trauma affects brain development and impacts learning.
