About The Webinar
Social Pressures Online: Managing the Impact of Social Media | Secondary
This webinar will provide headteachers, designated safeguarding leads and teaching staff with practical advice and guidance on understanding the influence that social media can exert on young people’s mental development, as well as their psychological and emotional wellbeing.
Social media plays a huge part in children’s lives. Recent research by Ofcom found that 30% of children aged 5-7 use social media sites. This figure jumped to 44% in 8-11 year olds and almost tripled to 87% in 12-15 year olds. The popularity contents that often play out in the traditional areas of park and playground are increasingly shifting into the online world – where self-worth is often measured by likes, shares, friends and followers.
In this webinar Dr Rina Bajaj, counselling psychologist with almost 20 years’ experience of working with children and adolescents, outlines how the pressures that often accompany social media are linked to children’s brain development, considers the reasons children have a need to be liked, and suggests ways to support young people in understanding and managing feelings of anxiety.
