More than '13 Reasons Why'" After an education Gladney University training by Dr. Connie Avila and Ms. Ashley Scott on teen suicide, the reFRAMED Podcast team continued the conversation with our special guests on the [reFRAMED Podcast](https://resource.adoptionsbygladney.com/reframed-podcast) in Episode 7.  reFRAMED Host, Emily Morehead, talked with Connie and Ashley about how to navigate the in's and out's of the teenage brain in today's world.  Even though it's  daunting to understand red flags your teenager's behavior raise, it is necessary  to tackle these issues to open up communication between parent and teen. Whether your child is struggling with a mental health disorder or perhaps just feeling overwhelmed, Emily and guests discuss the tools needed to assist your teen as they deal with heavy expectations, social media angst, changes in their body, and growing independence.  [Read More](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/understanding-red-flags-in-your-teenager-brain) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/understanding-red-flags-in-your-teenager-brain#comments-listing) Topics: [Gladney University](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/gladney-university), [Education](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/education), [reFRAMED Podcast](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/reframed-podcast), [Brain Development](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/brain-development), [Teenager Brain](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/teenager-brain) ## [Tools and Resources to Help Children In Foster Care](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tools-and-resources-to-help-children-in-foster-care) Posted by [Emily Morehead, MA, LPC](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/author/emily-morehead-ma-lpc) on 6/12/19, 3:34 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://sesamestreetincommunities.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/FosterCare_Interactive_SlowItDown-400x300.jpg)](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tools-and-resources-to-help-children-in-foster-care) With the majority of children entering the Foster Care System before the age of 2 years old there is a great need for foster parents, adoptive parents, teachers, clinicians and medical providers to have tools and resources. Recently I read a harrowing statistic that in the state of Texas there were 4,310 children removed from their parents before or at the age of one years old. Helping the tiniest of our people understand their story, hurt and incorporate emotional and physical wellness should be all of our priority. Recently Sesame Street announced that they were releasing a new resource connection for children who are or have been in foster care and the adults in their lives.

While watching this episode with my son I quickly fell in love with the catchy song  “don’t need a trip to the beauty shop, ’cause I love what I got on top….”. As well as the message that promotes self-love, acceptance and awareness that we are all different. I'm grateful for this father starting a dialogue that our society needs. His creativity ignited conversations in homes, schools and playgrounds around the globe. Continue the conversation by catching Gladney University's video on demand training led by author and speaker, Rhonda Roorda entitled "[Embracing the Heart, Mind, and Spirit of Transracial Adoption](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/84996208949)".   [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4002831/4f0703b0-cff1-4c83-a2fa-5efd7972d88c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4002831/4f0703b0-cff1-4c83-a2fa-5efd7972d88c) Want to learn more about Mazzarino?
