Topics will include understanding the impact of digital technology on child development, recognizing signs of digital distress, and collaborating with parents and caregivers to create supportive digital environments at home.

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

• Recount recent research findings about the psychological responses of young people to digital and social media use;
• Dialogue with young people about their digital use in an effort to understand their perspectives and support them in developing self-regulation skills; and

• Practice strategies alongside young people for developing a balanced, healthy relationship with technology.
