SUMMARY:Impact of Instagram - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The pursuit of perfection via Instagram has profoundly impacted our online and real world lives\, particularly for our youth. Its visual nature places a premium on appearance – often a highly curated\, perfectly filtered one. Teens compare themselves to those filtered images of their peers and celebrities\, seeking an unattainable level of perfection. The cost of that perfection can be negative feelings about appearance and body satisfaction\, low self-esteem\, increased risk for eating disorders\, depression and other mental health issues. Instagram’s own internal researchers reported that involvement in the app led to a “teen mental health deep dive\,” worsening body image issues for 1 out of 3 teen girls. This workshop will:  \n\nLook at how Instagram and social media has influenced how youth socialize \nExamine social comparison in social media and the impact on mental health \nDiscuss strategies and review resources for healthy engagement with Instagram and social media \n\nIf you wish to register for a webinar\, please contact Amy Nace at alnace@pmyf.org or call 717-367-1536\, ext. 2.

SUMMARY:Social Media & Youth Mental Health - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory addressing social media and youth mental health in May 2023. With the near universal use of social media among youth ages 13 – 17\, the Advisory looks at the impact of social media on the mental health of our young people\, both positive and negative. Adolescents report social media connects them with people who can help them through tough times and provides connections to what is going on in their friends’ lives. Some adolescents also report they feel “addicted” to social media\, and it can make them feel worse about their lives.   \nAdditionally\, research conducted by the University of Michigan indicates that children as young as age 7 are involved in social media. Current trends and impact of usage on the overall health of youth will be examined during this workshop\, along with resources and strategies to assist youth in creating safer and healthier habits in social media use.  \nIf you wish to register for a webinar\, please contact Amy Nace at alnace@pmyf.org or call 717-367-1536\, ext. 2.

SUMMARY:Youth & Social Media: How Much is Too Much? - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Social media and youth are often seen as synonymous\, but that media use can negatively impact many aspects of their lives. Some of the side effects are decreased or poor academic performance\, deterioration in peer and family relationships\, behavioral problems\, physical health issues\, developmental delays and difficulty with psychosocial adjustments. In a nationally representative survey of 18 to 27-year-olds\, about half (47%) shared they wished TikTok and X did not exist. Sixty percent of those same individuals also said social media has a negative impact on society. In another project looking at the lives of the “smartphone generation\,” nearly all teens who were interviewed reported they would rather be in their parent’s generation\, without smartphones. This workshop will: \n\nLook at the algorithm pressures on youth and the links to mental health struggles and issues\nDiscuss online risks\, such as harassment\, cyberbullying and sexual solicitation\nExamine social media design and addition\nReview resources and strategies to engage with youth in discussions and lessons\n\nIf you wish to register for a webinar\, please contact Amy Nace at alnace@pmyf.org or call 717-367-1536\, ext. 2.
