Let's Talk Opposition in Adolescence
Friday, September 29, 2023
9:30 AM
- 12:30 PM

Webinar presentation and discussion by Tawanda Hubbard, MSW, DSW, LCSW
Opposition in adolescence has become synonymous with ODD. This view of opposition as a disorder is limiting and puts adults in conflict with youth. This webinar will discuss the need to see opposition on a continuum. Participants will identify and discuss their personal constructs about oppositionality in adolescence. They will explore Dr. Hubbard's construct of opposition as advocacy and power expression in adolescence, which facilitates the youth's development of a healthy sense of self and purpose that will equip them to transition into a healthy, productive, and satisfying adulthood. Participants will discuss the importance of focusing on the caregiver-adolescent relationship and using relationship interventions.
