  • Up-to-date research on the impact of smartphones and social media on adolescents

  • The potential mechanisms by which digital media may be impacting adolescent mental health

  • Signs of healthy use vs problematic use

  • How teens are using AI and its potential impacts

  • Research-backed, practical guidelines around screen time and content

… and more!

“It was great to have Alison to meet with leaders from BGC (Boys & Girls Clubs) from across Canada. Her depth of knowledge and her personal delivery on a topic that is of significant concern to anyone that works with children and youth was informative and engaging.

Alison presented a wealth of substantive data and background, and while that can sometimes be overwhelming for some, her style and humour made it fun and informative, and gave participants hope and optimism that they could take action.”

– Owen Charters, President & CEO, BGC Canada (Formerly Boys & Girls Clubs of Canada)
