Mental health is a critical issue for Gen Z, who are more open than previous generations about discussing their struggles with anxiety, depression, and stress. Luckily, there are numerous resources available to support young people’s mental well-being:
Therapy Apps: Apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace provide access to licensed therapists via text or video.
Meditation Apps: Calm and Headspace offer guided meditation sessions that can help reduce anxiety and improve focus.
Peer Support Networks: Platforms like 7 Cups allow users to connect with trained listeners who offer non-professional support.
Crisis Text Line: For those in immediate need, texting “HELLO” to 741741 connects individuals with trained crisis counselors.
College Counseling Services: Many universities offer free or low-cost mental health services to their students.
By taking advantage of these resources, Gen Z can develop coping strategies, build emotional resilience, and prioritize their mental health.
