Since the advent of the internet, social media, and smartphones, anxiety, self-harm ideation, and depression have been on the rise among teenagers. While on the internet, teens are forced into a comparison game with other people. Many studies are beginning to show that there may be more than a correlation between emergent technologies and these mental health challenges.
Along with these mental health challenges, the internet has opened up a whole new world of temptations for teens to grapple with. Are they ready to take a stand during these times?
During this keynote speech, we will help the teens confront the challenges of navigating through current technology as a Christian. We will also explore the ways to honor God through the same mediums.
