With anxiety and challenging behaviors on the rise, adults need effective and easy-to-implement strategies to help young people process critical thoughts and interrupt negative behavior patterns. Using case studies, humorous stories and examples of common challenging situations, Jessica Minahan will deliver a systematic approach to enhance adolescent coping skills and provide tools and interventions for reducing students’ anxiety and increasing their self-regulation and flexible thinking.

Minahan is a licensed and board-certified behavior analyst, special educator and internationally known school consultant. She works with students who struggle with emotional and behavioral disabilities, anxiety disorders, high-functioning autism or mental health issues. She is the author of “The Behavior Code: A Practical Guide to Understanding and Teaching the Most Challenging Students,” and “The Behavior Code Companion: Strategies, Tools, and Interventions for Supporting Students with Anxiety-Related or Oppositional Behavior.”

NOTE: This presentation will run two hours in length.
