Description
Today’s youth are engaging in unprecedented levels of screen media activity. This webinar will review emerging evidence of the mechanisms linking screen time with youth well-being, and for whom screen media activity has a detrimental impact on youth development. The webinar will also introduce a family-based single-session preventative intervention targeting youth screen time and family functioning. Evidence supporting this program’s promise will be reviewed, including a walk-through of treatment content and discussion of recent adaptations.
