A Digital World: Youth, Technology, Social Media and Mental Health, May 15, 2023, 7:00-8:30 PM.
Parent and Caregiver Virtual Event.
The goal of this presentation is to help adults educate children about creating a responsible image in the digital world. Adults have the wisdom and experience to be responsible online, but they may not be aware of the latest social media trends and the negative effects of social media. We’ll provide you with the most up-to-date information regarding the current digital climate, so you know what to look for and how to ensure children are using smartphones and devices safely. Please email: nbowen@dciu.org with any questions.
