Center board member Dr. Adriana Galván, UCLA, talked to the Washington Post about the importance of healthy risk taking for adolescents, and why we need to stop creating narratives that pathologize this key developmental window.
A new article from the UCLA Newsroom highlights the CDA’s work, mission, and recent projects, including STEPS for Youth and the Adaptiviy podcast. “If the center fulfills its mission, we will see a greater investment — at the federal, systemic, and educational levels — in young people,” said Co-Executive Director, Adriana Galván.
Jennifer Pfeifer, Co-Director of the National Scientific Council on Adolescence (NSCA), and Leslie Leve, member of the NSCA, speak with Michael Dunne on KLCC, the Oregon NRP affiliate radio station, about how we can support young people feeling uncertain about the election. Pfiefer and Leve discuss the new NSCA note, “Elections as Opportunities for Positive Adolescent Development.”
