## Resource

We've heard from organizations, advocates and even youth themselves that social media is having a negative impact on their mental health, self-esteem and overall well-being. While the province and federal government look at a potential social media ban, what can parents do to protect their children and their developing brains now, before it's too late? Laura Lawrence, CEO of Youth Matter Canada, mental health advocate, philanthropist, best-selling author and award-winning entrepreneur, has been working with youth for years and joins us now to share the science behind the harms of social media for youth and what changes parents can make now to set healthy boundaries for their kids.
