Most of us agree that our relationship with our phones is complicated - throw in the demands of a developing brain and this complexity reaches new heights! In this webinar, Dr. Natasha Parent will explore how basic psychological needs relate to adolescents' smartphone and social media use, and how engaging with these technologies can have both positive and negative effects for teens. We will unpack how these positive effects can support teens' developmental needs, and how things like FOMO can fuel behaviours that may be harmful to teens' wellbeing.
