Summary:
This continuing education (CE) course explores performance-based identity, a growing concern among youth who tie their self-worth to their achievements in academics, sports, or other external validations.

Additionally, it will provide strategies for therapists to help clients build a more intrinsic sense of self-worth and offer guidance for parents on fostering a healthier identity in their children.

- Therapists will define performance-based identity and explore its psychological and social influences. 
- Therapists will identify how performance-based identity manifests in youth and its long-term effects into adulthood.
