There has been an increased awareness of the challenges facing emerging adults both in the popular literature and in our clinical practices. The rise of anxiety, depression, and a lack of resiliency have plagued this population with increased frequency making it challenging for these twenty somethings to make a smooth transition to independence. Building on the foundation set in last year’s failure to launch discussion, this seminar will further explore intervention strategies that help to build the necessary cognitive, emotional, and interpersonal skills to encourage successful “adulting”. Through the use of case study and review of current research, participants will increase their knowledge of prevention and intervention strategies to better support emerging adult.
