Young Adults: Risky Behaviors, Failing to Launch, and Beyond – 2021

with Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D. & Dulce Torres, LPC-S, BCC, ACC

$13.00

Parents of emerging adults tend to feel like they are sitting on a ticking time-bomb, desperate to prepare their teens and young adults for the responsibilities of adulthood. And yet, they are very often uncertain as to how best to support their kids once they become adults in the eyes of the law. The risks facing teens and young adults, especially when they have not yet learned how to manage their ADHD well, include many impulsive or stimulation-seeking behaviors such as substance use and abuse, promiscuous sexuality, self-harm, and more. 

In this extraordinarily compelling conversation, Roberto Olivardia and Dulce Torres draw from extensive experience as therapists and/or coaches supporting families of young adults to offer suggestions for parents to improve dynamics with their emerging young adults.
