Quick Fact of the Month
The average American teen will spend 30 years of their life behind a screen. We know that there is a direct relationship between our digital habits and our emotional health. Digital wellness is a practice that involves being aware of our tech patterns and making conscious choices to either use or not use technology. Mindlessly scrolling through social media can negatively impact our mood.
However, using tech in an active way, like reading a book or connecting with a friend, can positively benefit our mood. Set achievable goals to reduce mindless tech time such as limiting social media use to 45 minutes a day. Start small to build sustainable habits.
