Abstract

ABSTRACT Due to consequences of social distancing stemming from concerns of contracting COVID-19, feelings of social isolation and loneliness have increased with adolescents. Lack of social connections can have several adverse mental and physiological effects, such as depression and inflammation. Social workers providing counseling need a deeper understanding of these psychological and neurobiological factors associated with isolation. To better equip social workers, I advocate for neuroscience-integrated counseling that can assist practitioners working with this population. Specifically, understanding group flow (combining groupwork and neuroscience/flow state) can be beneficial. I present a case exemplar where I explore group flow and conclude with implications for practice.
