Recently our Schoo PTSO meeting included a presentation on the possible connection between the growing use of social media and increased mental health concerns among adolescents. At our meeting we watched a video from a previous SCIP presentation on that topic. Though there is no hard and fast proof that there is causation between social media use and an increase in depression and suicide attempts among adolescents, there does appear to be some sort of association.

Watch the SCIP video here.
