Social Media and Mental Health: What Families need to Know

4/5/2022

 
On behalf of the Meadow PTA School of Excellence committee, we share a new webinar on mental health & wellness.

​Just like physical health, we all have mental health.

Presented by Whitney Closson, Family Education Specialist
School Mental Health Resource and Training
Mental Health Association in New York State, Inc.

[ Social Media and Mental Health: What Families need to Know.
It is no secret that over the last 15 years that internet and media use has skyrocketed.

Today, 95% of teens have access to a smartphone, and 45% say they are online almost constantly.

As a result, many caregivers, educators and individuals are left wondering about the impacts of social media and the digital world on their overall wellbeing.

Information covered includes:

  • How to start the conversation around internet use
  • How to set healthy media boundaries
  • Data to help understand psychological risks and emotional impacts
  • Understanding risks and how to respond to cyberbullying and more

Sincerely,
Meadow PTA School of Excellence Committee

“Everyone has mental health, just like everyone has physical health, not everyone will experience mental illness, but everyone will have periods of time when they struggle with their mental well-being, just as we have physical health issues from time to time.”-Stan Preston
