Live Webinars

In today’s digital age, it’s essential to equip kids with the prosocial skills they need to interact responsibly, both online and offline. US teens spend about 4.8 hours per day on social media platforms; adolescents who spend more than 3 hours a day on social media face double the risk of mental health problems, including experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. To help improve schooling and combat the negative effects on youth mental well-being, many states and school districts are passing policies and taking action to reduce access to social media platforms and to limit kids’ cell phone use during school hours. This seems sensible; however, we can’t ignore our technology-rich world and how younger generations will continue to have digital experiences at every turn.

Join this sponsored webinar to discover how policy and practice can provide strong life skills that give students the tools they need to competently navigate the digital world. We’ll also explore how these tools work as a necessary extension to promote student mental well-being when they are online, offline, and in the classroom.

During the webinar, you will learn:

• How policy addresses (or doesn’t address) digital well-being
• Which skill-building competencies support digital well-being
• What skill building looks like in practice
• How you and your learning communities can take steps to advance digital well-being for your kids

This webinar is recommended for education professionals at the district and school levels.
