As young people return to school this fall, many are facing far more than new teachers and homework. They are returning to classrooms while navigating unprecedented academic, social, and emotional pressures. In a world shaped by social media, constant comparison, political division, conflict, and uncertainty, many young people are struggling with rising levels of anxiety, loneliness, and emotional distress.
Join us for an intimate conversation with Dr. Rachel Abel, a Brooklyn-based NYS Licensed Clinical Psychologist in private practice, and Gaya Adi, Southern District Manager of ELEM / Youth in Distress in Israel, as they explore the growing challenges facing youth and young adults in both Israel and the United States.
Dr. Rachel Abel
Gaya Adi
Drawing on their extensive clinical and field experience, Gaya and Rachel will examine what it means to grow up in a world where young people are constantly navigating social pressures, uncertainty, conflict, and an unprecedented level of connectivity. From developing a sense of identity and building meaningful relationships to coping with anxiety and isolation, the experiences of young people in Israel and the United States reveal striking similarities, even amid very different circumstances.
Whether you're a parent, educator, youth leader, mental health professional, or simply someone who cares about the well-being of young people, you'll gain practical tools to recognize the warning signs of anxiety, strengthen meaningful connections, and better support the young people in your life before they reach a point of crisis.
Learn more about what today's youth are experiencing — and how we can help them navigate an increasingly complicated world.
