‼️Continuing Education Series‼️

Is social media the hidden driver of teen depression, or can the internet be a lifeline for struggling youth? Join Dr. Meredith Gansner, child psychiatrist and author of “Teen Depression Gone Viral,” as she sits down with Ray Christner and Paul Wagner to explore the complicated—and sometimes risky—relationship between digital media, mental health, and today’s teens. Drawing from real clinical stories and cutting-edge research, this episode gives parents and professionals no-nonsense insights into why “just take the phone away” hardly ever works, how to develop true digital literacy in your family, and what practical steps can actually make a difference. Whether you worry about TikTok challenges, cyberbullying, or just want to understand how to better support a teen in your life, this conversation will leave you thinking twice about every swipe.
