SUMMARY:Creating Well-Being in the Digital World
DESCRIPTION:Youth spend a significant amount of time in the digital world\, and at increasingly younger ages. The digital world has opened doors to everything from educational opportunities\, to meeting and getting to know others\, to creating vlogs\, blogs and other creative outlets. There has also been a decline in in-person interactions with peers\, alongside a sharp rise in mental health issues.

SUMMARY:Scrolling and Struggling: The Mental Health Impact of Social Media
DESCRIPTION:Extensive evidence confirms that high social media use has a significant impact on the mental health of our youth. Children and teens who spend more than three hours daily on social media platforms face double the risk of experiencing severe symptoms of anxiety and depression\, often exacerbated by unrealistic beauty or lifestyle standards\, sleep disruptions and an overwhelming fear of missing out. Meta\, TikTok\, Snap Inc. and YouTube recently settled a social media addiction case with a Kentucky school district\, and other lawsuits are pending.   \nThis workshop explores how the digital diet of youth shapes their emotional\, social and cognitive well-being. The psychological impact of comparison culture\, constant connection\, cyberbullying and harassment will be examined. Resources and strategies to support youth in developing resilience\, digital wellness and healthier online behaviors. \nIf you are interested in registering for one of our webinars\, please contact: \nAmy Nace \nEmail: alnace@pmyf.org \nPhone: 717-367-1536\, ext. 2

SUMMARY:Recognizing and Responding to Youth Sexual Harassment & Bullying
DESCRIPTION:The social environments youth navigate are sometimes complex\, both in person and online — where sexual harassment and sexual bullying can occur in subtle or overtly harmful ways. Data indicates that nearly half of all students in grades 7 through 12 experience sexual harassment in a single year. There is disparity in the number of youth who share experiences of sexual harassment and incidents of sexual violence compared to the number of official reports filed by schools.  \nThis workshop will define sexual harassment in youth contexts and look at the social\, cultural and developmental factors that contribute to this behavior. Participants will explore real‑world scenarios\, examine the impact of sexualized behaviors on youth well‑being and learn trauma‑sensitive strategies for intervention. The session emphasizes prevention\, communication and building supportive environments where all young people feel respected and empowered. \nIf you are interested in registering for one of our webinars\, please contact: \nAmy Nace \nEmail: alnace@pmyf.org \nPhone: 717-367-1536\, ext. 2
