Today's Youth: Screen Time and Mental Health
The Volunteer Center, Torrance Unified School District and South Bay Families Connected are proud to present Today's Youth: Screen Time and Mental Health, a free event featuring noted researcher and author Dr. Jean Twenge on Thursday, October 18, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. at the Torrance High School Auditorium. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. and youth wellness resources will be available in the auditorium's lobby.
Dr. Twenge is author of “iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy-and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood,” and her groundbreaking research on teens and screens has been covered in major print and television media. Parents, caregivers, teens (9th grade and above) and groups working with youth are invited to join us to learn more about what influences are shaping iGen, and how we can harness the positive trends while mitigating the negative ones. Copies of “iGen” will be available for purchase at the event. Books can also be ordered online at https://www.pagesabookstore.com/south-bay-families-connectedpages-recommended-parent-reading - 10% of all book sales through this link will be donated to help fund this event.
