Hello Antonella

Our way of working and learning have drastically and permanently changed over the last year of lockdowns. What are the mental health implications of our increased and existential dependence on tech, both for ourselves, and our children? And how can we better manage our ubiquitous tech usage for better mental health?

Listen to leading media-psychologist Dr. Don Grant and addiction therapist Mandy Saligari for The MindHealth360 Show (https://hs-4969009.t.hubspotstarter-hr.net/e2t/sc2/Mm-nFbk9GxjW8wzzcq4JMs5lW7kSh9r6cp3pwW7Mjhmh7rJGNGf1HVPN213 ) who give us insights and advice on how to best manage increased tech dependence for ourselves and our children.

These discussions are a fascinating follow-up to our live event on How to Navigate the Impact of Devices and Social Media on Mental Health in May 2019 with the How to Academy, which featured the same two experts.
