Promoting Digital Wellbeing with Young People
Join us on Saturday, 26th July, for a webinar in our next collaboration with Andrew Cowley.
Andrew is a former teacher and school leader who has, in the last three years, been engaged with coaching and supporting schools in the UK as they have undertaken training for their mental health leaders. Andrew also coaches schools undertaking the School Mental Health Award with the Carnegie Centre of Excellence in Mental Health at Leeds Beckett University.
Andrew is also a respected author and speaker, presenting at events such as the Festival of Education, writing for organisations such as Education Support, Twinkl, and RISE EduMag. Andrew has written three books on wellbeing and mental health in school. The Wellbeing Toolkit (2019), The Wellbeing Curriculum (2021), and The School Mental Health Toolkit are all published by Bloomsbury Education.
Digital wellbeing refers to the ongoing process of aligning one’s technology use with personal values, goals, and overall health. It encompasses the mental, emotional, and even physical aspects of how we engage with digital devices, platforms, and content. To be digitally well is to maintain a state of equilibrium, where the benefits of technology enrich rather than diminish our quality of life.
In this webinar session, Andrew will explore the following:
- Information overload.
- Screen fatigue.
- Social comparison.
- Disruption to routine.
- Impact on social presence.
- Keeping safe.
- Striking a balance.
Live attendees will receive:
✅ A Certificate of Participation
✅ Downloadable Speaker Slides
✅ Access to a live Q&A with Andrew Cowley
