Psych634 Wk 3 Social Media Posts Anxiety Education For Teens

Assignment Preparation Scenario: You have been employed by a local agency to help start a new support group for teens with anxiety. To promote the new group, you have been asked to create a few social media posts that share information in an approachable way with teens. These posts are to educate teens on how anxiety is a product of the interplay of the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS).  Review “The Relationship Between Sustained Attention and Parasympathetic Functioning” from this week’s University Library Resources to learn how a higher level of parasympathetic functioning is associated with a better ability to maintain focus and concentration.  Choose at least 1 social media platform to create your social media posts for. You may create posts for multiple platforms. Note: You will not be posting on an actual social media account for this assignment; rather, you’ll draft sample posts to present to the agency.  Assignment Deliverable  Create a slide presentation that contains 3 social media posts for the agency’s consideration. Each post should be on its own slide and should be tailored to the best practices and limits (length, image type, etc.) of the specific social media platform(s).  Ensure that the content will effectively educate teens on how anxiety is a product of the interplay of the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) by addressing the following in your posts: Identify 4–5 physical signs of anxiety that teens might experience and that are demonstrated by changes in the PNS and SNS. Describe what happens in the fight-or-flight (also known as fight-flight-freeze-or-fawn) response. Describe some coping skills to help teens with anxiety. Explain how the coping skills directly address the physical signs of anxiety you identified.  Cite at least 2 peer-reviewed, scholarly references. Format your citations and references according to APA guidelines.  Include a reference slide.  Submit your assignment.
