Webinar: Teens and Smartphones - Exploring young peoples’ views of smartphone etiquette, ‘addiction’ and healthy tech use habits

Do you work with/support young people? Are you interested in how to engage them in meaningful conversations (and research) about smartphone use?

This webinar will discuss a qualitative research project into teenagers' views of smartphone dependency and smartphone etiquette. This presentation will be narrative-driven with a focus on the voices of the young people and their experiences of tech use, as well as strategies they use to prevent problematic use. Attendees will be able to reflect on the recommendations from this research study in relation to their own work with young people and individuals who may be experiencing problem technology use. There will be interactive elements and a brief Q&A discussion.

Hi @Registered Member,

I ended up changing the event link about 15m after posting as I'd copied the wrong hyperlink accidentally. As Emma said, this should now be the correct link.

The webinar isn't capped for attendance and I just tested the link and was able to register. It may be worth checking with your colleague isn't trying to register for the March 1 training which was linked accidentally. If so you can email me directly and we can make sure they're signed up for the correct training (Marie-Claire.conlin@camh.ca)

Both links below should work for my March 10, Teens and Smartphones webinar.
