RE:Source Series – “Technology and Teen Mental Health”

March 16, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

A discussion on the relationship between technology and mental health in our youth, including how we can reduce the negative impacts.

While concerns have been raised about the relationship between the use or overuse of technology (e.g., via the Internet) and child and adolescent mental health and cognitive development, there may be ways to reduce negative impacts and increase potential enriching effects of technology.  This presentation will provide an overview of our current understanding of the effects of use of technology on mental health and potential strategies for encouraging healthier habits for using technology among children and adolescents.
