Emotional Wellbeing for Young Women: Understanding Your Brain, Body, and Behavior

Join Dr. Christy Kane for this no-nonsense workshop on mental health for high school-aged young women. She will discuss some of the common emotional challenges that teens struggle with today. In today’s culture of constant social comparison, becoming more emotionally mature is an especially critical topic. Dr. Kane will discuss this from the perspective of how our brains work and how that impacts our lives. She will help unpack some underlying beliefs and thought processes around body image, anxiety and depression, and other emotional struggles, which will help increase mental health stability. Understanding the science behind why the brain does certain things can help create more effective thinking patterns and results in more positive choices moving forward. She will conclude by sharing strategies and tools that can help young women thrive.
