Skills & training courses

Understanding your brain – for teenagers is for all teenagers who wish to understand their own development during puberty. The resources are tailored so that whatever your age, you can use the ideas and techniques to help better understand how to look after yourself during these changes.

This course has been developed by a team of Clinical Psychologists, Child Psychotherapists, and Child and Family Practitioners. Everything you will follow and learn in the course has been informed by experience and is designed to be practical to help you in your everyday interactions. You’ll also learn about how the teenage brain functions compared to an adult, the brain’s involvement in developing relationships and how the brain impacts teenage sleep patterns.

The first few Modules cover some ways of thinking and concepts that will help shape the approaches and ideas around the later sections, so this means it needs to be followed in order, one Module at a time. You don’t need to do it all in one go, and our advice is to take breaks and spread out your learning.
