More info MORE INFO LINK BELOW GIRLS ON THE EDGE: Forty years ago, it was unusual for girls to have sleep disturbances and rare to find a girl who was deliberately and repeatedly cutting herself with razor blades. Some of the latest reports suggest that today, at least one in five girls age 10 to 18 years of age is deliberately and repeatedly hurting herself. Why are a growing proportion of girls so anxious and now taking anti depressand medication? What do professionals who work with teenage girls need to know in order to intervene effectively? BOYS ADRIFT: A growing proportion of boys today regard academic achievement as something girls care about. Working hard to get straight A’s in the era of Eminem and John Mayer and Justin Timberlake has come to seem unmasculine in the eyes of many boys (but not all; we talk about the exceptions). Learn the five factors which are driving this growing epidemic of unmotivated boys and strategies which have been effective in re-engaging some of these disengaged boys and young men. Key aspects of this presentation include best practice for identification of boys at risk, and effective intervention with those boys. We also consider the risk of over-diagnosis of conditions such as ADHD and Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, with special attention to how professionals who work with teenage boys can be effective advocates for those boys within the system. for details visit www.SOSWorkshops.ca
