FREE. A monthly discussion hour for mental health professionals working with isolated/withdrawn young adults. The gap between dependent adolescence and independent adulthood seems to be getting wider - and more and more clients in mental health settings seem to be stuck at the transition. This online one-hour discussion selects and discusses a single issue on the subject of failure to launch, NEET (Not in Education Employment or Training), and hikikomori, with the aim of expanding awareness of the nature and therapy for this increasingly common life challenge. There is no need to attend regularly. Email me for the zoom link. Time is 11 am Pacific (Vancouver) time, 2 pm Eastern.

This time: Adult-raising strategies to enhance autonomy and independence in children and adolescents before adult withdrawal becomes an issue.
