Young adults are “boomeranging” back home, and this experience is putting them at an increased risk of Depression. At the same time, their parents are in the position of taking on additional financial responsibilities, caretaking duties, and stress. So, how do we, as clinicians, support them? In this episode, we explore the anxiety and depression associated with this change and discuss interventions therapists can use to support both the young adults and parents in this situation.Whether you work with clients that have children who recently moved back home, or your client moved back in with their parents, a home environment with more than two adults living together can become quite stressful. A recent study found that young adults who move back home, or "boomerang” back home, experience an increase in depressive symptoms. Young adults move back home for a variety of reasons, including losing a job, decline in income, personal relationship breakdown, opportunities to socialize, or to care for elderly parents. During the course of the pandemic, over 15.9 million people moved back home; given the high numbers of adults moving back in with their parents, therapists are likely to see clients experiencing both sides of this situation in their practices. Connect with the Beachfront Therapist: Get all of our latest news, be the first to know about new episodes and events, and stay connected through Instagram and Facebook.
