This webinar will include a panel of experts discussing parents’, teens’, and preteens’ digital technology and social media use and its relation to mental health. Panel members will be asked to discuss current patterns of social media use by parents and youth, and share about the potential for both positive and detrimental effects of social media, including the role of technology and social media in supporting social connectedness and awareness, while also contributing to mental health challenges. Panelists will suggest approaches to social media use that incorporate mindfulness and support well-being.
