How to set boundaries with youth about gaming, social media and screen use

Join us for an engaging and informative webinar where Sylvie Smith, Therapist,
Mental Health and Addiction will answer questions and share practical strategies
on how to set healthy boundaries with youth around gaming, social media use,
and screen time.


This webinar will also examine the increasing presence of gambling features in
arcade games, video games, and mobile applications and their impact on young
individuals. We will evaluate how adults' technology habits can affect children,
and recognize the psychological impact of using in-game currency and tokens
as opposed to real money within the gaming and gambling industries.


It's the perfect opportunity for parents and caregivers looking to better
understand and guide the digital habits of today’s youth—with confidence.
