More and more young adults are finding it hard to move into independent adult life. Many continue to rely heavily on parents or caregivers and may avoid challenges that help them grow.

Format:Online
When:Wednesday, September 16, 2026
12:00 PM - 01:30 PM

Join psychologist and author, Dr. Randy Paterson, for an expert 90-minute presentation looking at why some young adults get “stuck” and what families and supporters can do to help.

Participants will learn about common causes and practical ways to encourage confidence, life skills, responsibility, and independence.

The aim of interventions is to maintain (not withdraw) support for the emerging adult, but to shift from support for the dependent, withdrawn lifestyle to support for independence and personal development.

Ideal for parents, caregivers, educators, clinicians, and anyone who supports young adults.
