With structured session plans, practical handouts, and relatable examples-like Oli the teen owl-clinicians gain a clear, adaptable framework for working with youth facing mild to moderate behavioral challenges. Written by Dr. Paris Gandy-Walker, this resource empowers clinicians to help teens build resilience and make healthier, more productive life decisions.
