Realizing Opportunity for All Youth, a landmark report, has recently been released by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine. The scientific findings conclude that there is ample evidence that changes in brain structure and connectivity that happen in adolescence present young people with unique opportunities for positive, life-shaping development, and for recovery from past adversity.
Institute of Law, Psychiatry, and Public Policy, School of Medicine, University of Virginia, presents a day-long program on the report, Friday April 3 2020, at the School of Law, UVA, Charlottesville VA.
Faculty for the day will be Richard Bonnie, Professor with the UVA School of Law, and ILPPP Director, who was chair of the committee producing the report, and other members of the report committee including Joanna Williams PhD, UVA Curry School of Education, and Susan Mangold, Esq. Juvenile Law Center, Philadelphia.
Respondents/discussants will include Andrew Block JD, Associate Professor of Law, Director of the State and Local Government Clinic with the UVA School of Law, and past director of the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice, and Julia Taylor MD, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics with the UVA School of Medicine. Other respondents/discussants will be announced.
