| Workshop Full Desc | This full-day professional development workshop is designed to engage educators, support staff, and community stakeholders in exploring the critical themes and insights from The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. As youth anxiety, depression, and social disconnection rise, this book offers a compelling framework to understand how changes in childhood particularly the shift to phone-based, less autonomous lifestyles are impacting mental health.

The day will include guided discussions, interactive activities, and collaborative planning to help attendees translate theory into practice. We will also address systemic barriers, digital literacy, mental health strategies, and how to promote healthier developmental environments. |
