Dr Radha Modgil delivers her top five tips for supporting your teenager through the sometimes-murky world of social media. In just five minutes, she helps parents and carers feel more confident in how they engage with their teens’ online world.

Young people, once exposed to social media, can start to rely on it more and more. Making and maintaining social connections, self-expression and entertainment are just some of the benefits of participating. However, teens are more likely to engage with strangers, share their passwords or experience negativity online. Join GP, broadcaster and Author Dr. Radha Modgil as we learn how young people can be supported to become resilient users of the internet.

Most of us can relate to this: we get into bed at night to scroll through our phones and see what is happening on social media and the internet. We may think this routine helps us unwind, connects with others, distracts us, helps us catch up on the news or lets us see what the people we follow are up to. Little do we realise that this self-destructive night time activity, called doomscrolling, can become a compulsive habit that affects our health. If you’re guilty of doomscrolling, this session will help you get this habit under control.

Stress is part of life – but it can be harmful if not managed properly. So, in this positive discussion, we’ll spotlight the signs and symptoms to watch out for, plus free tools and resources to help.
