## Resource

The federal government is investing $376,540 to uncover how online content impacts youth mental health, funding Children’s Healthcare Canada’s Mind Over Media project. With one in four young Canadians reporting online bullying and a shocking 500% surge in child sexual abuse reports since 2014, the urgency is clear. Alongside this, Bill C-34—the Safe Social Media Act—is advancing to force platforms to remove harmful content faster, limit exposure, and restrict younger teens’ access. As AI rapidly evolves, officials stress the need for urgent research into its unique effects on kids. This initiative aims to unite researchers, healthcare pros, and youth voices to build evidence-based policies for safer digital spaces.
