Whether or not you plan to attend our event, all parents are encouraged to consider their child’s relationship with social media. As I have previously shared with you, this 2023 U.S. Surgeon General’s public health advisory is an eye-opening resource on the matter. While it contains much valuable information, the following stands out:

• Excessive social media use is strongly linked to increased rates of depression and anxiety among adolescents, with those spending over three hours daily facing twice the risk of poor mental health. 
• Experts suggest limiting use to 30 minutes per day or delaying access until at least age 16 to mitigate these harmful effects.
