According to the CDC, 6-in-10 teen girls report feeling hopelessly sad. Evidence shows social media may have a lot to do with it. But social media is also where young people want to spend their time. So instead of pretending we can stop them from using it, this session gives practical tips on how to stay safe and avoid sadness while using social media.

Tools over rules. Join mental health experts and digital media advocates for a 45-minute live session followed by a chance to have your questions answered. This session is designed for young people and their parents. Your name and face will not be shared with anyone.
