SUMMARY:The Online Mind: How Digital Spaces Shape Youth Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:In today’s connected world\, the digital environment is a central part of youth identity\, relationships and daily life. Social media\, gaming and online communities can foster creativity and connection — but they can also lead to stress\, anxiety\, isolation and self-comparison. The digital environment can have a profound influence on the developing mind and mental health of young people. During the workshop\, we will examine current research on the psychological and relational impacts of the digital engagement\, discuss emerging trends in online behavior and review strategies and resources to better support youth navigating the pressures and possibilities of the online world.

SUMMARY:Social Media and Youth Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory addressing social media and youth mental health. 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 that 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. Additionally\, research conducted by the University of Michigan indicates that children as young as 7 are involved in social media. Current trends and the 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.

SUMMARY:Empathy and the Teenage Brain
DESCRIPTION:Do teens lack empathy for others? Is it possible to “teach” empathy to teens? One study promoted the theory that teens don’t take the feelings of others into account because they are just incapable of doing so. Another study states that involvement in social media has decreased the levels of empathy among youth. The reality is\, the way the brain develops in adolescence affects empathy\, and there is a lot that can be done to develop empathy in teens. This workshop will: \n\nLook at the development of cognitive and affective empathy during the teen years\nExamine empathy “inside” the brain\nAddress the barriers to empathy\nDiscuss the essential steps for building empathy in school communities\nReview resources in the development of empathy.
