AYDC November Coalition Meeting
November 9 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
This month’s spotlight: Creating the Framework for a Healthy Media Diet Among Alaska’s Youth
Join us for a presentation and discussion on youth social media use, designed for parents, teachers, and mental health providers. We’ll look at how much media Alaska youth consume, including the risk factors, protective factors, and outcomes associated with that use, and explore how online platform design contributes to addiction. Participants will then work together to develop a framework to help Alaska youth maintain a healthy media diet. (See our November agenda for more details.)
