What’s wrong with our teenagers? ANU and 666 ABC Canberra Public Forum

Today’s teen problems are complex and boundless. The problems teenagers face on a daily basis can take many forms and manifest themselves in a number of ways.

In a world of popularity contests, online bullying, drug use and body image issues our teenagers face problems that we as a community often find difficult to understand.

As part of National Psychology Week 2009, join a panel of experts at ANU for a down-to-earth and lively discussion on the issues affecting teens, and what teenagers, and parents, can do about them.

Moderated by
Genevieve Jacobs, presenter, afternoon program, 666 ABC Canberra

Expert Panel includes
Professor Don Byrne – adolescent stress and substance abuse
Antoinette Harmer – child, adolescent & parenting issues
Professor Larry Saha – education and youth behaviour
Stephanie Hawke – teenage popularity
Jessica Wilson - adolescent relationships
Charlie Wood - 666 ABC youth panellist

This event is free and open to the public. Please arrive early as seats are limited. Please register attendance with ANU Events.
