About the Event

The world of emerging adults, leaving high school or college to enter a new world of responsibility for one’s own decisions (and the consequences) can be a time of paralyzing anxiety. Isolation demands of COVID-19 brought many young adults back to family homes. The impact of this retreat from jobs and schools has shaken confidence, especially in those who have suffered some measure of social anxiety. In 2021, as they emerge from the virus restrictions, young adults will be faced with managing anxiety about re-entering the social realms of universities and jobs. They may suffer panic about physical safety depending on their level of health anxiety and the realities that the virus will be around for some time. In this session, Dr. Wehrenberg will review panic management and health anxiety protocols that really work and will focus on handling social anxiety and worry for young adults.

Live Event
This live online event will be held as a Zoom Webinar. Attendees will have the option to interact through features such as the Chat and Q&A, but cameras and microphones will not be enabled.
