Back to Gen Z study overview

Gen Z mental health

 Mental health was a big concern for Gen Z before the pandemic. Now those concerns are approaching crisis level.

Gen Z has been affected more than any other generation in the last year.

We can't ignore mental health challenges and expect improvement.

However, Gen Z is self-aware and looks for support more than prior generations.

They’re using social media as a tool for connection.

And when needed, 1 in 3 Gen Z respondents took a break from social media.

Implications for employers: mental health is physical health.
