Sustaining Mental Wellbeing in the Digital Age (Virtual CE Event)

Educational Goal:

This talk will help therapists better understand the growing body of research around tech overuse and its impact on mental health, attention, behavior, identity development and family dynamics. My goal is to equip fellow therapists with the insight, language, and confidence to talk about tech use—not just as a parenting issue, but as a clinical one that touches nearly every case we see today.

Learning Outcomes: 

1. State at least 4 reasons that technology overuse affects psychological and emotional health, particularly of children and adolescents.

2. Apply at least 3 evidence-based techniques to help clients develop a healthier relationship with technology, including mindfulness techniques, role playing and activity scheduling.
