Speaker Nicholas Mediate

Listen in on an important discussion on recognizing when screen and video game use becomes a problem, identifying underlying mental health concerns, and knowing when to refer kids, teens, and young adults for additional support.

This webinar helps parents identify and address problematic screen and video game use in children and teens. In it, we cover:

  • How to distinguish typical screen use from clinically concerning behaviors

  • Mental health conditions commonly associated with problematic screen and gaming use

  • Practical strategies for counseling families
