About Social Media and Mental Health

Research now clearly shows a connection between use of social media and poor mental health. While online social networking tools have become a part of our lives and businesses, it is important to recognise how it affects our mental health. This training course looks at what the research says about the relationship between social media and mental health, and ways to curb use and feel better.

Why Is Social Media and Mental Health Important?

Many reports have connected social media use with negative consequences to wellbeing. People using social media for more than three hours daily are more likely to experience mental health issues, as per a recent survey.

Social media addiction and problematic social media use is sometimes referred to as social network syndrome. It includes symptoms such as adding unknown people, spending significant time on social media and feeling anxious when not getting a response. If you have ever felt a constant craving to check your mobile, you have likely experienced this type of addiction.

This course can provide a way to use social media in a healthy way, especially for those relying on it for their job.
