- How the Brain Develops (Alexandra Lohrbach) (Module 4)
- Why the Teenage Brain has an Evolutionary Advantage (Module 4)
- Promoting Brain Gains for Youth Emerging from Foster Care (Module 9)
- Adolescent brain development both shapes and is shaped by the larger experiences, relationships and environments in which young people exist. Important information about adolescent brain development is included in the Annie E. Casey Foundation report, The Road to Adulthood: Aligning Child Welfare Systems with Adolescent Brain Development. This should be read as part of the ToT. The Road to Adulthood was developed by the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative of the Annie E. Casey Foundation. It works at the local, state and national levels to advance policies and practices to most effectively meet the needs of young people transitioning from foster care to adulthood. Valuable resources can be found here.
