On February 25, Lifeworks will present a webinar entitled App-Happy? The Relationship Between Mental Health and Social Media. As we know, social media has a huge impact on our lives, and this is only set to increase. Media outlets frequently report the effect of social media on mental health as damaging, particularly on the younger generation. However, you can use social media responsibly and keep mental health in tact by doing so. Click here for more information and to register.
