As part of our ongoing Mental Health Coach Calls, this month we’re diving into a timely and essential topic: Gaming & Social Media Addiction—with a special focus on the summertime spike in usage among kids and teens.
We’ll explore:
✅ What qualifies as gaming and social media addiction
✅ Cognitive and behavioral changes linked to overuse
✅ Local study results and the impact in our community
✅ Practical tips and alternative activities caregivers can use to help youth unplug
During this Coach Call, we’ll also share how Mental Health Coaches can use this knowledge to better support clients and families during the summer months.
We’re committed to helping you grow as a confident, resourceful Mental Health Coach, and this session is designed to equip you with insight and actionable tools you can use right away.
