Partner Event | BrainAbouts Symposium

Join us on May 5, 2026 at the BrainAbouts Symposium in Houston, Texas to hear from PHT’s CEO, Drew Dutton, M.Ed., MBA, MAPP, LPC-S, LCDC, ACPS. Drew will be presenting Growing Strong Minds: Brain-Based Educating in the Age of Addiction.

Growing Strong Minds examines the modern pressures shaping learning and development for children and adolescents today, including social media, gambling, and other high-risk behaviors, and their growing impact on mental health and addiction. Participants explore brain development across grades K–12, gaining a clear understanding of core brain systems, how they change over time, and how to respond with developmentally appropriate support at each stage. The keynote breaks down the neuroscience of addiction, building an understanding of addiction as a brain-based disease that exploits normal reward systems. Grounded in neuroscience and positive psychology, the session highlights person-centered, strengths-based, and empathy-centered approaches that lead to measurable, lasting change.
