The earlier that children gain access to screens and social media, the higher their likelihood of developing mental health disorders becomes. The numbers are staggering, and the research is frightening. The US Surgeon General has issued a stark warning regarding the perils associated with social media use. In the Danger! Social Media & Kids Town Hall, we will explore strategies to assist children and teenagers in navigating the challenges and risks posed by social media, focusing on effective coping mechanisms.
