Young adults and high school students are experiencing anxiety at much higher rates than ever before. There can be many contributors to this e.g., high academic loads, lots of extracurricular activities, social/family pressures and uncertain futures. This anxiety can result in sleep loss, depressed mood, psychological distress as well as poor functioning at school and in the community. Some young adults can get caught up in very high-risk behaviors – selling, addiction, and theft in part as ways to deal with their anxieties.
The challenge is to try to understand the pressures young adults are experiencing and recognize the signs and symptoms of dysfunctional coping mechanisms.
This training will cover:
– Life’s pressures such as school, the COVID pandemic and social media affecting young adults
– Signs and symptoms of Anxiety, Sadness, and Substance Use
– Positive choices young adults have in life
– Strategies that help young adults facing problems or challenges
This Micro Module outlines the pressures that youth are facing and strategies for coping with anxiety.
