Description:

Remember when you were a teenager and your parents just didn’t understand you? Have the tables turned and your teenage kids make absolutely no f-ing sense to you? There’s no doubt that the adolescent brain is complicated, but what exactly is behind the mood swings and crazy behavior?

We’ll also hear from Hopelab lead, Caroline FitzGerald who’s working on a project to help reduce loneliness on college campuses. Glen Coppersmith, Ph.D. will help unpack how we can understand mental health data and even predict suicide risk by understanding language usage.
