SUMMARY:Breaking Free: Tech and Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Today’s children are growing up in the midst of a mental health crisis. Rates of anxiety\, depression\, eating disorders\, and even suicidal thoughts are rising at alarming levels. Technology—while offering many benefits—has also transformed how kids see themselves\, their peers\, and the world around them\, often amplifying stress and loneliness.\n\nBut families are not powerless. Dr. Alicia La Hoz\, clinical psychologist and founder of Family Bridges\, will explore how digital connection and social media influence children’s brains and emotional well-being. Grounded in neuroscience and family research\, this session will equip parents with practical strategies to:\n\nRecognize and respond to the pressures kids face today\nBuild resilience and emotional balance in their children\nEncourage healthier\, more mindful use of technology\nStrengthen family relationships rooted in connection and presence\n\nParents will leave with tools—and renewed hope—to help their children navigate the digital age with strength and confidence. The evening will also include time for audience Q&A.
