LIKE: Are We Addicted to Social Media?
The Glenbard Parent Series: (GPS) Navigating Healthy Families will present the documentary LIKE: Are We Addicted to Social Media? at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8. A discussion will follow featuring Devorah Heitner, Ph.D., author of Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in Their Digital World, and Liz Repking, founder of Cyber Safety Consulting. Registration is required for this film screening. Please visit glenbardgps.org/event/LIKE.
LIKE explores the impact of social media on our lives. By understanding the effects of technology and social media on the brain and in our lives, we can learn to navigate it more wisely. Through insightful conversations with psychologists, media specialists and teens, viewers will learn about social media’s effects and what’s happening in today’s digital social space.
Immediately following the documentary, digital citizenship experts Heitner and Repking will lead a conversation to share strategies that adults can implement to understand and relate to their digitally native children and keep them safe online.
