The adolescent years present a unique set of challenges for healthcare providers as well as families. Physical changes, peer pressure, media influence and a strong desire to test limits can lead to risky behaviors and unhealthy lifestyles. Learn the facts, gain the skills and develop a strength-based approach that will assist your teen patients in making healthy and safe choices. Join our expert faculty and your colleagues for a dynamic session you won’t want to miss!
This Preconference will enable you to:
- Describe effective communication skills that will facilitate your interactions with adolescents.
- Recognize early warning signs of eating disorders, mental health needs and risky behaviors.
- Identify when referrals to other service providers are indicated.
- Evaluate the pharmacologic options available for contraception, psychiatric disorders, hyperlipidemia and vaccinations.
