VIRTUAL

Members of Generation Z (born between 1995 and 2012) and Generation Alpha (born between 2013 and now) have very little, if any memory of a life without a smartphone or access to the internet. They are often dubbed “digital natives”. Their world since birth has been social media, political polarization, social unrest, school shootings and climate change discussions. Depression and anxiety are at an all-time high with this particular set of generations – and rightly so, given our world. This workshop is a discussion revolving around the struggles of anxiety and depression being reported in increasingly higher numbers and best practices when working with this population.

Bring your experiences and share with other participants what has worked for you.

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

1.       List at least 2 differences between Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

2.       List at least 2 examples of best practices in treatment.

3.       List at least 2 ways to improve interpersonal relationships in the population.

4.       List at least 2 methods to assist in conversation starters.

5.       List at least 2 feeling identifier methods.
