Adna, Karima, and Thai-sha are back! Join them in this special limited series produced by the Resilience, Ethnicity, and AdolesCent mental Health (REACH) project’s Young Person’s Community Champions (YPCC).
Studies have found a strong link between heavy social media use and an increased risk for depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-harm, and even suicidal thoughts. The REACH YPCC have shared that, during the pandemic and lockdown, social media use amongst themselves and their peers increased. As young people use social media regularly, the REACH YPCC felt it important to discuss these potential impacts as well the solutions to making social media platforms a safer environment for young people.
Join the team for this interesting discussion held with Louisa Rose, Chief Executive Officer at Beyond and Professor Yvonne Kelly, Director of the International Centre for Lifecourse Studies in Society and Health.
