Working with Adolescents and Young Adults

In this course, Dr. Rebecca Michel (DePaul University) takes a positive psychology approach to promote optimum development and wellness in working with adolescents and young adults. She defines the strength-based approach and discusses the benefits of using that approach with this population. In Part 2, Dr. Michel facilitates a mock session with a high school student to demonstrate the strengths-based approach. In Part 3, Drs. Dermer and Michel review the mock client interview and discuss the strategies and techniques Dr. Michel demonstrated in the session.
