It's Complicated: Teens, Technology & Relationships

 

Technology and social media shape the identities and world views of today’s young people. Teen sexuality, relationships, and identity are interwoven with cell phones and social media, and many parents and professionals are left wondering: what does it all mean?

That's why I'm hosting a live, interactive webinar on Teens, Technology and Relationships. We will start from the ground up, beginning with definitions and a roadmap of technology commonly used by adolescents. From there, we will examine how technology shapes teen sexuality, relationships, and identity — for better or for worse. We will discuss teen relationship abuse and technology, as well as ways that teen relationships can be strengthened by technology. Throughout, we will discuss 8 concrete tips for understanding and interacting with teens through the lens of technology.

I hope you'll join me! https://www.k-cornelison.com/t...elationships-webinar

That's great to hear, Kaleigh! I think people tend to blame the technology (or the drug, or the video game, etc.), rather than understanding the roots of ACEs and how they can lead to unhealthy coping behaviors if not addressed.

Looks interesting. Will you be addressing how ACEs science fits into this?

Thanks for your question! It definitely won't be a deep dive into ACEs but we will talk about the connection between technology use, relationships and adverse childhood experiences. Both in the sense of WHY young people use tech in the ways they do and also how tech use can support youth who have experienced ACEs. Let me know if you have any other questions!
