Social Media and Adolescents Recap

On Tuesday, March 19th, we hosted another Conversation in the Commons with guest speaker Stephanie Anderson, LCSW of Anderson Counseling. During her presentation, she discussed the effects of social media on the mental health of adolescents. She offered a look at the pros and cons of social media use and how parents can help their children navigate virtual communities. Also discussed were apps that parents can use to keep their children safe online. Below is a link to an article she suggested that lists some of the apps.
