Teens in a Digital World: Social Media & Mental Health

In this episode of Tune In YRDSB, host Paula Vicente, assistant coordinator of Mental Health at YRDSB, is joined by Peter Reid, a social worker on the Central Mental Health Team, along with student leaders from the Youth Space Student Advisory.

The discussion centres around the complex relationship between social media and teen mental health, exploring both the benefits and risks associated with popular platforms like TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), Snapchat, Discord, and online gaming spaces.

The Youth Space initiative, which promotes awareness, connection, and student-led mental health advocacy, plays a pivotal role in supporting well-being and leadership across schools.

Tune in as the guests share their insights, student perspectives, and strategies for fostering positive online interactions and mental health support within the YRDSB community.
