Career decisions, family dynamics, education, and navigating identity are just some of the monumental transitions that commonly occur between the ages of 18-29. Emerging adulthood is a unique developmental stage full of excitement and opportunity. However, the drastic psychological and interpersonal changes that occur during this time can also increase emerging adults’ risk for mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. This presentation offers a nuanced understanding of the unique developmental considerations that impact mental health and risk-taking behavior during this pivotal life stage. Participants will learn about both risk factors and protective factors in the emerging adult population and be given practical strategies for supporting mental health needs.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize the unique developmental milestones associated with emerging adulthood and their influence on mental health

• Examine the relationship between mental health, substance abuse, and risky behavior in emerging adulthood

• Utilize evidence-based strategies to support mental health and provide appropriate resources

The term "emerging adulthood" describes a developmental phase between the ages of 18-25 when young adults are navigating key milestones associated with adulthood: careers, financial responsibility, intimate relationships, and personal identity. The transformations of this phase are wide-ranging and have important implications for mental health. We will discuss risk factors for mental health conditions during emerging adulthood and ways to support emerging adults in navigating this phase of development.
