Recently featured on 60 Minutes, Eva Telzer, PhD, and Mitch Prinstein, PhD, talk about what is going on inside the brain during the teen years – a key time for brain development – and the external forces helping shape it, for better or worse. Grounded in the science of resilience, the conversation will include practical, evidence-based strategies to help teens strengthen attention, emotional regulation, and social connection. The focus is not just on understanding the challenge, but on determining a brain-healthy path forward at school and at home.

Experts in the emerging field of technology and brain development, Dr. Telzer and Dr. Prinstein are co-directors of one of the only centers dedicated to studying the impact of social media on the developing mind and brain, the Winston Center on Technology and Brain Development at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
