In December 2017\, Harold Koplewicz\, founding President of The Child Mind Institute reported\, “Child and adolescent mental health disorders are the most common illnesses that children will experience under the age of 18.”\nThere is a growing body of research that indicates a strong correlation between abrupt shifts in teen behaviors and emotional states\, and the growing prevalence of internet-based\, handheld devices and social media.\nIs social media posing a risk to your teen’s mental health?\nSocial media has dramatically changed the way we communicate and socialize\, and today’s children and teens may be missing out on the development of important social skills when they spend the majority of their time on screen.\nUnderstanding how this new world of social media impacts our children is an evolving topic. Please join us on Sunday\, April 28\, from 4 to 6 pm at the JCC in Squirrel Hill\, 5738 Forbes Avenue\, for “A Community Conversation on Teen Mental Health” with Dr. Jean Twenge\, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University and author of\, “IGen: Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious\, More Tolerant\, Less Happy and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood.”\nTwenge\, who frequently gives talks and seminars on teaching and working with today’s young generation based on a dataset of 11 million young people\, has been featured on the Today Show\, Good Morning America\, NPR and many other media outlets speaking on this topic.\nShe will speak about the mental health effects on teens being addicted to their smart phones and social media\, a topic that is so relevant and will reflect\, for example\, on the necessity and benefits of the JCC’s Emma Kaufmann Camp’s screen-free policy.\nFollowing Jean’s talk\, we will have a panel discussion with a variety of local experts to more fully explore the teen mental health crisis within our community and what parents can do to most effectively help their children navigate an increasingly complex and challenging time.\nFor more information\, please contact Rachael Speck 412-697-3539\nTo RSVP: https://jccpgh.formstack.com/forms/community_conversation URL:https://jewishchronicle.timesofisrael.com/event/a-community-conversation-on-teen-mental-health/ CATEGORIES:Health,Program END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190428T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190428T103000 DTSTAMP:20260915T004609 CREATED:20190318T113801Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190318T113801Z UID:65274-1556447400-1556447400@jewishchronicle.timesofisrael.com SUMMARY:Bereavement Support Group DESCRIPTION:title: Bereavement Support Group\ndescription: Temple Emanuel welcomes previous and newly bereaved adults to its Bereavement Support Group on Sunday\, April 28th at 10:30 AM.
