Many challenges Gen Z faces—like perfectionism, social media anxiety, or eco-distress—are deeply interconnected with their relationships, identity, and mental health. Focusing on just one aspect misses the bigger picture. This course provides a comprehensive curriculum to help you address their full experience and tailor therapy to their unique needs.
Earn Your Certificate, Elevate Your Practice, and Be the Go-To for Gen Z Clients!
Raised on recessions, lockdown drills, and social media doomscrolling, Gen Z is flooding into therapy…
…reporting record levels of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and distress.
And the old ways of helping aren’t cutting it.
They speak in mental health buzzwords but struggle to connect. They say they want help, but disengage easily. They’re overwhelmed, identity-fluid, politically activated, and drowning in collective anxiety.
They expect therapy to feel inclusive, collaborative, and validating — and will ghost if it doesn’t.
And yet, most clinical training hasn’t caught up with the cultural, technological, and emotional reality Gen Z lives in.
That’s why we created the Gen Z & Emerging Adults Mental Health Specialist course, taught by leading experts in the field. You will walk away with:
- Clear clinical strategies to treat Gen Z’s most common diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma
- Step-by-step framework for addressing delayed milestones and identity struggles
- Effective interventions to break toxic relationship cycles, heal attachment wounds, set boundaries, and disrupt people-pleasing patterns
- Treatment roadmap for tech-driven mental health challenges, including smartphone dependency, social media anxiety, and digital burnout
- Toolkit for managing eco-anxiety and activism burnout with actionable coping strategies
- Proven approach to help clients break the perfectionism-burnout loop and rewire achievement-driven anxiety
- Powerful interventions for navigating family conflict and boundary-setting—even in high-conflict family systems
This training is your chance to become the go-to therapist for Gen Z and emerging adults.
PLUS: When you complete the training, you’ll receive an exclusive digital badge you can proudly display on your professional profiles to show your commitment to this powerful, evidence-based approach.
