Teen CBT: Guiding Adolescent Growth
Over 50% of kids in grades 7–12 have at least moderate symptoms of anxiety or depression, up from under 25% a decade ago. More alarmingly, 18% of today's teens have contemplated suicide—and 19% have self-harmed (OSDUHS, 2023).
The adolescent years—so formative and never easy—are now plagued with strange new stressors. When treating today's teens, many doctors feel like time travellers who never got the manual. This module will equip you, the time-travelling physician, with the tools and confidence needed to confront today's unprecedented challenges:
- Device addictions fragmenting focus and dulling real life;
- Social media cultivating comparison and catalyzing contagion;
- Narcissism eroding empathy and straining bonds;
- Pornography perverting expectations and contaminating intimacy;
- Sleep deprivation driving burnout and volatile emotions;
- Commitment phobia delaying relationships and childrearing;
- Safetyism fostering fragility and chronic timidity;
- Incel ideology promoting misogyny and predation;
- Eco-rumination generating angst and despair; and
- Violent gaming driving desensitization and reactivity.
The Teen CBT module concludes with a briefing on the most strategic findings from GPA Science: Research-Backed Methods to Improve Grades.
Please join your fellow time-travellers at Teen CBT. We promise you'll gain many practical, evidence-based tools to guide adolescent growth in our strange new times. Register now to save $200.
