This can result in significant changes in sleep patterns, mood, concentration, memory and learning, as well as affecting behaviors such as risk-taking and aggression. The research suggests that this is even more pronounced for the younger generations who have been using digital technology and social media during the critical stages in their brain development. This training will explore this research and discuss the implications for working with youth and young adults, specifically survivors of childhood abuse and neglect. It will also focus on behavioral and interpersonal strategies for unplugging and providing a better balance in the use of digital technology and social media. In addition, practitioners will learn approaches that emphasize the importance of social and emotional engagement to enhance the development and recovery of specific areas of the brain.
