This session offers a profound exploration of the complex dynamics shaping adolescent development and mental health outcomes. Through a synthesis of attachment theory, individuation processes, and the impact of developmental trauma, this presentation delves into the intricate interplay between early relational experiences and adolescent psychosocial functioning. Experts will examine how attachment patterns influence identity formation, interpersonal relationships, and emotional regulation, while also addressing the challenges adolescents face in establishing autonomy and a coherent sense of self amidst societal and familial pressures. Additionally, attendees will gain insights into evidence-based interventions and trauma-informed approaches aimed at supporting adolescents grappling with attachment disruptions, individuation struggles, and the sequelae of developmental trauma, empowering them to foster resilience and positive outcomes for this vulnerable population.
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-
Explain at least three foundational principles of attachment theory and its relevance to adolescent development.
-
Define the process of individuation and list at least two of its implications for adolescent identity formation and autonomy.
-
Identify at least five manifestations of developmental trauma patterns that disrupt adolescent development and the ensuing impact on psychobiological functioning.
-
Apply at least three evidence-based interventions and trauma-informed approaches to support adolescents grappling with attachment disruptions and trauma histories.
-
Develop an understanding of the Trauma-Informed Responsive Intervention™ and its entire process.
