Related terms include hikikomori (the Japanese term increasing in use among young adults internationally) and NEET (Not in Education Employment or Training - the term most often used in the United Kingdom). This workshop looks at the nature of the phenomenon, risk factors, treatment strategies for both the young adult and for caregivers, and guidelines for prevention and early intervention with adolescents.
