Social Media &
Digital Detox
What Is Digital Wellbeing?
Digital wellbeing refers to developing a healthy and balanced relationship with technology, social media, gaming and screen use. Whilst technology offers many benefits, excessive screen time can sometimes affect mental health, sleep, emotional regulation, concentration, relationships and overall wellbeing.
Many children, young people and adults describe spending more time online than intended, struggling to switch off from gaming or social media, comparing themselves to others online, or feeling anxious when separated from their devices. Difficulties with
screen time can be particularly challenging for individuals with ADHD, autism, anxiety and emotional regulation difficulties.
