In this episode of ‘Making a Difference in Mental Health,’ Danielle and Wendy continue to explore the intricate link between social media use and mental health, particularly among youth. The episode emphasizes the need for greater transparency from tech companies, policymakers, and researchers in reporting the impacts of social media on mental health and advocating for healthier, safer platforms. Parents and youth are encouraged to take on more proactive roles to practice healthier behaviors and consumption of content on social media. By fostering an environment of awareness and responsible use, both parents and youth can help lessen the potential negative effects of social media on mental health.
