Today’s adolescents and teens barely drink or smoke, get into fewer fights, and have less sex. By many measures, they’re healthier and safer than they’ve ever been. And yet, in the last couple of decades, suicide rates have doubled among 12–14-year-olds, and there’s been a major increase in depression among teens in general. What gives?
In this workshop, a teen anxiety expert and a popular research psychologist will help you help your clients:
Connect the dots between smartphones entering the market and our stunning drop-off in teen wellness
Go beyond the headlines and into the research about what developing a healthy relationship to technology looks like
Tease apart the reasons socialising online may not be a replacement for in-person time
Understand the good and bad of already anxious teens connecting through technology
