Parenting The Adlerian Way 138: Dr Vanessa LaPointe Discusses The Negative Impact Of Social Media On Youth Mental Health
Psychologist Dr Vanessa Lapointe discusses the recent stats on the negative effects of social media on our youth’s mental health. We also discuss the film “The Cost Of Beauty” - a 3 minute heart-wrencher of a documentary about a mother and daughter ‘s journey of how social media created a deadly eating disorder. Dr Lapointe discusses Dove’s Self Esteem Project and their latest project to encourage parents to petition for changes to the Kids Online Safety Act to put youth mental health ahead of profits.
