Description of CME Course
In this module, we discuss concrete relationship-centered approaches to facilitating respectful, honest and safe communication with teens. We organize the adolescent visit into three phases, setting the stage, eliciting the medical and psychosocial history and strength-based counseling. We emphasize that adolescent stress is the central driver for many risk behaviors and for somatization. This module presents tools for eliciting and exploring sources of stress, for coordinating a strength-based approach to advising and counseling with example dialogues and conversations.
