Social media has become a dominant force in modern life, especially for young people and adults alike. While it offers opportunities for connection, self-expression, and education, it also brings potential risks, including anxiety, depression, loneliness, and issues related to self-esteem. This interactive presentation explores the intricate relationship between social media usage and mental health. Participants will explore the positive and negative mental health impacts of social media, strategies for mitigating harmful effects, and the role social workers and mental health professionals can play in supporting individuals' well-being in the digital age. Participants will engage in case discussions, data analysis, and evidence-based strategies for addressing social media-related mental health challenges in their practice. Participants will learn evidence-based tools, including mindfulness techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and digital literacy, to support clients in developing healthier social media habits. Through case studies, discussions, and practical interventions, this session equips healthcare professionals with the skills to address social media-related challenges in their practice.
