The US Surgeon General recently released an advisory on how social media helps and hurts youth mental health. There are positive impacts but social media can also increase depression and anxiety. On the next Line One, host Prentiss Pemberton talks with Jennifer Gessert, a therapist specializing technology addiction. They’ll discuss how social media impacts kids and teens and how to establish healthy boundaries around platforms. That’s Line One, Wednesday, at 10 a.m., repeating at 8 p.m. on FM 91.1, or at Alaskapublic.org.
