Social media has a growing impact on our lives, and who we follow on social platforms can influence us. Our program ‘Positive Social Media Role Models’ offers young adults an opportunity to examine both the potential benefits and harms of social media. Participants will discuss exercising their judgement when determining who to follow, and how who they follow on social media might impact their everyday lives.
Join us via Zoom – Monday December 9th at 2:30 pm ET
(4pm NT/ 3:30pm AT/ 1:30pm CT/ 12:30pm MT/ 11:30am PT)
Virtual groups for young adults of all abilities. (Ages 16+)
