In today’s always-connected world, digital spaces shape how we communicate, relax, and understand ourselves. This panel discussion explores the relationship between technology and mental health, including the impact of gaming, social media, and constant connectivity.

Panelists will separate myths from facts about video games, examine how social media affects self-esteem and anxiety, and share strategies for building healthy digital habits. Attendees will also learn to recognize warning signs of unhealthy screen use and gain practical tools to manage stress and emotional overwhelm in a 24/7 digital world.

Participants will leave with practical insights for creating healthier relationships with technology and supporting youth and families through balanced conversations about screen use.
