Season 3, Episode 6 | Becoming Phone-Free: GHEC’s Steps Toward Student Well-Being

In this episode of Coffee and Clarity: Preventing Substance Misuse, Empower students Georgia and Isaac sit down with GHEC Principal Mr. Andy Walden to talk about student mental health, screen time, and what it means to help kids grow up healthy in today’s digital world.

GHEC recently conducted a book study on The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, bringing together school leaders and community members to examine how smartphones and social media are shaping this generation. We discuss what they’ve learned, why it matters, and how it connects to GHEC’s efforts to move toward a more phone-free school environment.

From practical steps students can take to protect their mental health to the role adults play in creating healthier spaces, this conversation highlights how schools and communities can work together to support youth well-being.
