Description
Over 5 sessions, participants will learn the current research on the impact living in a digital world has on youth. What are the harms? What are the benefits? How do we maximize the positive while mitigating the challenges for our students as well as ourselves. Some of the session topics focus on the impact of social media on mental health, mindfulness as a strategy for digital wellbeing, the power of youth advocacy, and digital wellness practices to implement with yourself, students and families. The series will be progressive with opportunities to take home practices to try in between sessions.
Social Media has become an integral part of growing up digital. What are the benefits and consequences, and how do we support youth as they navigate to maximize the healthy while mitigating the harms?
