10 Tips for Taking Care of Your Mental Health in a Digital World
We know that tech and social media affect youth mental health but simply telling young people to log off and avoid using these platforms is not fair or realistic. That’s why #GoodforMEdia youth leaders created these tips for redefining your relationship with the media and finding ways to protect your wellbeing while staying connected. Whether you’re looking for a quick reminder for yourself or something to share with friends, this handout makes it easy to keep these strategies close at hand.
