Module 1 Overview

Module 1: Teens & Brain Conditions Compass Icon-1.png 

Welcome to Module 1! In this module, you will learn about the symptoms of common brain conditions and how they manifest in adolescents. You will also learn more about how those symptoms contribute to issues within the family. 

During this module, and this course in general, we will be focusing our attention on three brain conditions that commonly occur in teens: traumatic brain injury, brain tumors and epilepsy.

This may sound like a lot to learn, but don't worry. All of these brain conditions tend to manifest with similar symptoms. That said, every teen is different and will respond to their brain condition in different ways, and all families will respond differently to the changing circumstances that come after a teen is diagnosed.

After completing Module 1, you'll be able to :

  • Describe the symptoms of common adolescent brain conditions
  • Explain how the symptoms of brain conditions contribute to common family issues.
