In this age of constant connectivity, social media has become more than just a means of expressing ourselves and connecting with others. The powerful algorithms that underpin these platforms are shaping how we communicate with others, what information we take in, and our perceptions of events (and ourselves). Its pervasive presence has brought a maze of challenges that have impacted our mental well-being.

Join us for an engaging conversation regarding the intersection of social media and stress and learn valuable insights and actionable steps to achieve a more balanced and stress-resilient relationship with social media.
