Discover the world today’s youth are growing up in, a world full of screens, high expectations, and pressures very different from the childhood many adults remember, even when some challenges sound familiar. Dr. Crystal Collier, inspired by her book Inside Your Moves Matter, shares how teens make decisions and why their brains respond differently under stress. Her teen interns will share their experiences and thoughts on gambling, marijuana, pornography, technology overuse, and mental health. Parents, caregivers, and adults will learn how to better understand modern adolescence and respond in intentional ways that help youth stay safe and healthy.
