When these concerns are combined with attachment disruptions\, special challenges face the adolescents\, but also their families and clinicians. Attendees will learn the basics of the adolescent brain\, attachment-based parenting\, and the negative effects of chemical abuse; explore the common reasons adolescents abuse chemicals; process the complex relationship between attachment disruptions and chemical abuse; and learn interventions for addressing chemical abuse in adolescents. \n  \nPresented by Adam Arnold\, MA\, LMFT\, LADC \nAdam Arnold is a licensed psychotherapist\, trainer\, and consultant with Enliven Psychotherapy in Saint Paul\, MN. Central to Adam’s clinical work is gaining consent for psychotherapy from all of his clients – ensuring that they are driving their goals for treatment – regardless of their age. Adam spent over a decade combining his passions for healing and the arts\, serving as Founder and Artistic Director of blank slate theatre\, a personal growth-oriented theatre for adolescents in Saint Paul\, Minnesota. While there\, he collaborated with culturally and ability varied adolescents to produce over two dozen theatre pieces centering on themes of psychological and emotional health and social change\, including the award-winning DISORDERED [thy name is teenager]\, and BOTTOM\, a play on child trafficking. Adam also was proud to serve as chair of the “Safe Schools\, Safe Students Conference\,” which sought to address psychological and emotional health issues in schools\, innovate family involvement with schools\, soothe peer aggression\, and eliminate school shootings. \n
