Supporting Youth and Families in the Digital Age
Dr. Jensen will summarize the research base on adolescent technology engagement and mental health, with an emphasis on specific features and affordances of different types of technology engagement rather than "screen time." She will cover effective media parenting strategies (e.g., limit setting, monitoring, co-use), tailored to developmental stage/age. Finally, Dr. Jensen will discuss how clinicians can help clients and their families maximize potential benefits and minimize potential harms in online environments.
