The Gen Z Wellness Summit—sponsored by the Teen Advisory Council of UCLA’s Friends of the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior—brings together high school and college students from across the Greater Los Angeles area and beyond. The summit is designed to foster a supportive community through relevant presentations and interactive discussions centered on the issues that uniquely impact Generation Z.

A key goal of the Summit is to highlight the universality of emotional health challenges and to provide tools that help students build resilience and emotional strength. Featuring conversations and panel discussions with notable Gen Z speakers, as well as UCLA and other mental health professionals, the event addresses topics such as social media’s impact, loneliness and isolation, addiction, depression, anxiety, climate change, body image, and relationships—issues that many members of Gen Z navigate today.
