Finding Balance: Young Adults' Journey Through Pandemic Challenges

But I think it's important for our young adults to have an end time so that they can still make sure they're providing balance, so they're still having time to do socially appropriate activities, even if it's just doing a zoom room with friends.
The pandemic turned life upside down for everyone, but young adults have faced unique struggles. In this episode of 'On Your Radar', host John Williams sits down with Rosecrance expert Darrell Bock to discuss the profound impact of the pandemic on young adults and their search for stability. Bock explains that, unlike older adults who might have established routines, young people are still figuring out their place in the world. The sudden loss of structure has made this even harder.
The conversation touches on recognizing signs of mental health issues and the importance of maintaining some form of routine. Bock also highlights the need for social interaction, whether in person or virtual, to help combat feelings of isolation. Parents are encouraged to engage in open dialogues with their young adults to understand their internal struggles better. This episode offers practical advice on how young adults can develop coping strategies and regain a sense of balance in their lives.
