Helping Students Develop Healthy Social Media Practices

Before you watch the video, a note about the research:
A growing body of research suggests there are both positives and negatives to adolescent social media use. At this time, there isn't sufficient evidence to prove a causal link between social media use and mental health conditions.
Social media is a constant presence in our lives - especially among young people. In this course, you'll explore how social media can impact the teenage brain as well as the mental health risks and benefits of social media. You’ll also learn how to empower your students to consider how they’d like to show up online and take steps to have a positive online experience.
This course was developed by Dr. Katie Hurley, a child and adolescent psychotherapist and senior clinical advisor at The Jed Foundation (JED).
