PRESENTATION: This 3-hour training will examine the unique needs and challenges of adolescents. Participants will explore current trends and best practice in prevention, intervention and treatment. Adolescents are at great risk for suicide, substance use, and mental health disorders. It is essential to identify and engage effective interventions. The presentation will include:

• Strategies for engagement 
• Trends in treatment approaches (including online platforms)
