Caminar CEO Mark Cloutier's opinion piece, "Using digital devices to lift up and support adolescents", was published today in Youth Today.
In the piece, Mark asserts, "There needs to be a balance of technology usage in adolescents in order to maintain support in positive ways and avoid escalation to anxiety and depression."
And, "The view of technology exposure in adolescents is nuanced in that there are harmful amounts of consumption, and also ways to be productive in the time youth spend online. The older generations must be aware of both sides and encourage the younger generations to use their time wisely. Similarly, we should all do the due diligence to research and educate ourselves on policy updates to ensure that digital technology supports our youth rather than hinders their development.
