My degrees are a BS in Psychology, an MS in Mental Health Counseling and all but dissertation for a PHD in Psychology. I was a counselor for 10 years and have taught psychology courses for the past 20 years. I have a passion working with teenagers and hope to focus on topics in psychology that I have found my students to have enjoyed over the years. I am a Director of Education and Compliance for an educational facility.

There is discussion at one point about cults (Jim Jones) and obedience to a cult leader as well as brief references to Hitler when we talk about Milgram's studies in Obedience. Violence is also mentioned when discussing the bystander effect and deindividuation but We do not go into graphic detail but it can be disturbing hearing about violence and mass suicides. The content is developmentally age appropriate. We also discuss drugs and mental illness. If a student brings up inappropriate content for the class or appears to be emotionally bothered by any of the topics I will follow up with the student and/or parent. 
I will provide hand-outs as well as link to articles for the learners to read.
