I don’t know how to support youth living in a digital world

Being a parent and supporting your child’s mental health comes with challenges and complexities. In 2024, it can be even more confusing with the added layer of the digital world young people are growing up in. Technology is ever-present for youth, affecting their mental health. It comes with online comparison, loneliness, complex dynamics of body image and self-perception, and many other things.

For parents, knowing what children are now struggling with in a digital world is hard, and being able to address it and provide support is essential.

Join MHA and Arizona State University for this 1-hour session where we will:

- Describe current challenges youth face regarding technology
