From Myles Ahead, Advancing Child & Youth Mental Health and MindUP, The Teen Brain is a powerful short film that sheds light on what’s happening in the adolescent brain during this critical stage of development. As teens undergo significant structural and emotional changes, they are more vulnerable to outside influences, especially in today’s digital world, where social media can heavily shape thoughts, behaviours, and self-perception.
This research-informed video highlights the emotional intelligence, adaptability, and resilience of teens while offering practical tools to help young people navigate adolescence, build healthy relationships with technology, and grow into confident individuals.
