Risk-taking, impulsivity, and emotionality are natural features of adolescence that can create opportunities for learning and growth or interfere with healthy development. This presentation, presented by experts from Partnership to End Addiction, explores adolescent brain development and what it teaches us about what works – and doesn’t – to prevent substance use and other risky behaviors while promoting healthy youth development.
Presenters:

Cori works with partners across the country to bring evidence-based services and resources about substance use prevention to adolescents, caregivers, and community-based prevention professionals.
Linda Richter, PhD, Senior Vice President, Prevention Research and Policy

Her work focuses on advancing earlier, broader, and more effective approaches to substance use prevention, with particular emphasis on policies, programs, and practices that protect young people and promote healthy development.
