Research studies have shown strong links between increased screen time and the development of anxiety and depression. It’s important to manage the information young people are exposed to and enable them to be aware of the risks posed by an overload of digital media and being exposed to too much online content.

In this webinar, Cayley Jorgensen, mental health practitioner, researcher, public speaker and director of FaceUp South Africa, explores what is considered too much digital consumption, what symptoms may be associated with information overload and how to implement preventative strategies to support children who may have been impacted.
