We are living in extraordinary times. Our social media feeds are abuzz with funny memes, worrisome articles and incredible acts of kindness and generosity. We are also living during a time in which our adolescents are more depressed and more anxious, and more likely to be hospitalized for self-harm and suicide. Research shows at least a link between this mental health crisis and social media use, especially for girls. Humans need social connection, in real life. How do we achieve that while social distancing? Can we help kids balance technology to achieve digital wellness when so much has moved online? How do we support them during this time?

In this seminar, we will:

Look at how kids are using technology

Review research on adolescent mood disorder and social media’s role

Examine the positive and negative aspects of social media use

Share tips for helping kids embrace digital wellness
