This workshop examines Adolescent Stages of Development, their implications for practice and explores strategies for building an Alliance with NON-Conforming Adolescences. The interplay of styles and gender on interventions with dyad, family and group process, as well as perspectives on anger management, will also be addressed.

At the end of this workshop, attendees will be able to:

•                 Understand and appreciate the transformative process of Adolescences

•                 Practice from a Child Centered-Perspective, i.e. be creative and flexible in the application of one’s skills and knowledge about adolescences

•                 Use Creative, NON- Verbal and Art based activities to connect with adolescences
