About this listen

We explore the significant impact of social media on young people's mental health, particularly in light of Australia's new under-16 ban on social media use. We discuss the correlation between digital connectivity and psychological development, practical strategies for managing screen time, and digital detoxes for families. The episode delves into the consequences of social media, including increased rates of self-harm and mental health issues, and emphasise the need for individual and parental responsibility alongside government action. The conversation also covers the importance of balancing social media use with in-person interactions and building meaningful relationships.
