MORE than 300 people are set to attend a talk to try and understand the inner workings of the teenage brain.
Nicola Morgan, an award-winning authort and expert on the teenage brain and mental health, will be talking at the event on Monday, February 19, at 7pm and The Castle School, Taunton.
She will educate parents and teachers on how stress impacts wellbeing and performance, effects of screens and social media and the science of reading for pleasure.
Sarah Watson, Headteacher of The Castle School, said: “Nicola is a real international authority on teenagers and the teenage brain. We are excited about being able to share her work across the school and wider community.”
As a former teacher and dyslexia specialist, Nicola was a prize-winning novelist whose career changed after the success of her best-selling examination of the teenage brain, Blame My Brain.
Her book was short-listed for the Aventis Prize, and The Teenage Guide to Stress, winner of the School Library Association award in both readers’ and judges’ categories.
The Teenage Guide to Friends, her popular teaching resources, and the forthcoming Positively Teenage and The Teenage Guide to Life Online, have established Nicola as the go-to expert in her field.
