More about the event:
The majority of young people report that social media helps them feel more connected to friends and provides critical support during challenging times. Yet young people today also report being more stressed and anxious than ever. So what is the relationship between screen time and mental health and wellbeing? In this interactive and energizing presentation, Erin Walsh will cut through conflicting information and share the latest evidence about screen time's impact on youth. As opposed to framing tech as all "good" or all "bad," Erin will use brain science, warmth, and humor to identify key strategies that promote resilience and digital well-being.
We will explore questions like:
• What is the impact of social media and gaming on mental health?
• Is technology connecting young people or isolating them?
• Is internet, gaming or phone addiction real?
• What do kids need from parents as they navigate online risks and opportunities?
We'll be addressing your screen time struggles with science and understanding.
