Speaker: Crystal Collier, PhD, LPC-S

 Dr. Crystal Collier is a therapist, prevention researcher, educator who is an expert in adolescent brain development, prevention programming, parent coaching, addiction, family-of-origin work, and training new counselors. She created a free online, plug-n-play prevention program called KnowYourNeuro.org which teaches the neurodevelopmental effects of risky behavior to students, parents, and staff. Her published works include her neurodevelopmental prevention book, The NeuroWhereAbouts Guide, for parents and families who want to prevent youth high-risk behavior; a therapy workbook, FOO Mapping, for people who want to change their family-of-origin patterns that no longer serve them; and a children’s book series entitled Know Your Neuro: Adventures of a Growing Brain for kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade.
