Navigate Adolescent Addiction Through Developmental Neuroscience

$69.99 Standard

Substance use disorders are a leading cause of death and disability. While multifarious, the strongest predictor of addiction is drug use during adolescence, when individuals are neurobiologically primed for risk, experimentation, and salience.  

This session will demonstrate how critical periods of brain development intersect with innate predispositions, opportunity, and childhood trauma to catalyze substance use disorders, and how translating developmental neuroscientific research for patient care can help reduce the risk for addiction and promote individual flourishing. 

Here's What You'll Learn

Overview of Adolescent Neural Plasticity 

  • Dual impact of the final surge of neural plasticity during adolescence 
  • Neural plasticity’s role in promoting healthy development and triggering substance use 

Recognize Risk Factors 

  • Risk factors associated with drug use disorders in clients 
  • Neuroscience-informed strategies to minimize susceptibility 

Balance Vulnerability and Resilience 

  • Delicate balance between heightened vulnerability during developmental phases and the concurrent potential for remarkable resilience, supported by empirical research 

Harnessing Developmental Interventions 

  • Developmentally-informed interventions and their disproportionate influence on shaping adult trajectories, drawing from the current scientific landscape 

Everything You're Getting

  • More than 1 hour of video content
  • Up to 1.5 CE credits
  • Certificate of completion
  • Handouts and resources

Judith E. Grisel, PhD

Toggle speaker biography

Judith Grisel, PhD, is a professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Bucknell University. Her efforts in the classroom, laboratory, and public domain have positively impacted students, the field of behavioral neuroscience, and the broader community. As an active scholar, Judy has been recognized as an outstanding mentor by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. With students and the support of the National Institutes of Health, she’s published dozens of scientific articles, primarily on the complex causes of drug abuse. Current studies focus on sex-dependent influences of stress on drug reinforcement, and the role of endogenous opioids in alcohol use disorders. A strong proponent of the liberal arts, she teaches a wide range of undergraduate courses, including introductory psychology and neuroscience, and a popular seminar in neuroethics. In 2019, Judy published a book on the neuroscience and experience of addiction that became a NY Times bestseller, which has since been translated for a worldwide audience. She regularly speaks on the relationship between the brain and behavior to parents, teachers, legislators, the judiciary, and clinicians; she’s shared her knowledge effectively from classrooms to the World Economic Forum in Davos. As a recovering addict, scientist, and practiced instructor, Judy is uniquely qualified to communicate knowledge about the neural causes and consequences of substance use disorders.
