Connecting online safely

When youths want to turn socializing into screen time, parents often become concerned about online hazards — and all of this is understandable. We’re addressing these issues in our Online Safety and Digital Wellness series. Part one, “Preventing online harm,” looks at how to curb social media abuse and misuse. In this second part, three experts help us explore this subject further.

From the internet’s impact on development to fear of missing out (FOMO), watch this webinar to learn how youths can cope with and develop healthier approaches to social media, cyberbullying, and more.

Presented in partnership with UBC Faculty of Arts and UBC Faculty of Education.
