New York, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Growing concerns about youth and adolescent mental health in the United States highlight the need for effective strategies focused on early identification and intervention. In response, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (BBRF) invites teachers, counselors, parents, and educators to join a webinar on Thursday, December 10, 2026, at 7 p.m. EST, to explore the intricacies of individualized education planning (IEP), including opportunities for educators and clinicians to adopt “precision medicine” approaches that ensure that IEPs are designed to make the most of every day at school. Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein, President and CEO of the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, and Dr. John N. Constantino, a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist, will lead the discussion offering insights into how individualized approaches can better address students’ unique mental health and educational needs and support their academic success and overall well-being.
