This document summarizes interviews conducted about personal technology use. For both adults and teenagers, general questions were asked about daily mobile phone and weekly internet use. Additional questions addressed how digital habits impact activities like homework, reading, and socializing. Both groups acknowledged benefits of online access to information but also recognized potential negative effects like distraction and reduced physical activity. While most felt addicted to technology, opinions varied on control and moderation of use between genders and age groups. Overall, the interviews revealed awareness of both upsides and downsides of pervasive digital presence in modern life.
The document provides information about creating a media campaign for the organization Switch Off. It discusses targeting 14-18 year olds to encourage reduced screen time. Primary research found that teens spend 5-8 hours on phones daily and usually feel negative afterwards. The proposed product is a 30-second video called "Isolated" showing the impacts of excessive phone use on mental health and school performance. It would cut between a student revising and one scrolling on their phone, then show the latter struggling in an exam. The video aims to open eyes to phones' effects on health, education and goals.
The document provides details about creating a media campaign for the organization Switch Off. It discusses targeting 14-18 year olds to encourage reduced screen time. Primary research found that teens spend 5-8 hours on phones daily and usually feel negative afterwards. The proposed product is a 30-second video called "Isolated" comparing the impacts of high vs low phone use, showing exam stress. It will cut between scenes of a revising student and one constantly on their phone. Facts will pop up to further explain impacts. The goal is to open teens' and parents' eyes to the negative effects of excessive phone use on mental health, education, and life goals.

Effects of Screen Time on Young Children: Beneficial or Detrimental?kaylacar2
The document discusses the effects of screen time for young children and whether it is beneficial or detrimental to their development. While technology is ubiquitous in modern society, excessive screen time for young children under age 6 has been associated with cognitive delays, impaired learning, attention issues, and decreased self-regulation. However, moderate and supervised technology use, especially when paired with educational content or used to facilitate social connections, may provide some benefits. The challenges for parents are to understand both benefits and risks of technology use and help children develop a balanced lifestyle.

94 % email, 93% facebook, UtUbe
When young men use internet – 3.2 hours weekend not much less school days. When depressed
speknd more time on line – this can be a predictor of some kinds of psychopathology
Cybersafety – bullying sexting, unwanted contact, protecting etc
So there are problems but the benefits can outweigh the down side
Nb some episodes byt digital self harm – the English girl who sent herself taunts
Nothing lights up a childs brain like 3 dimensional play – yes there is research
The original play station was a gym swing in the yard
Check out CRC the Young and Well
Program reflector means psych can see a screen and watch what I am showing them
Nb you do need a good relationship with your client so the empathy is sustained
You need to know your programs - all their aspects so you don’t lose authority. Gpothrpought the
program and demonstrate how it works
Nb ask client to assess the usefulness of the app – (nb is AON ok with these apps)
E=psych apps
Sleep, meditation, relations, meditation, exercise, study, parenting, teachers, web based programs
Don’t use tech by itself
App to remind you to drink water, find your car, Viper to unlock your car and start it.
App to find things – little tile to put on things and then you can track them for ever

Web based programs:
As part of emergency use eHeadspacenb put this as a screen saver on every school
computer, and alternate it with 1800 55 1800 for risk management – be proactive
CBT mood-gym is a great web-based programs developed in 2000 – most researched and
valid way to deliver CBT on line
Moodkit app is available and then get them to do one of the 6 modules of moodgym
2. eCouch is similar as moodgym – same crown but less well resarched
this way up – on line treatment education and research – it is a K10 on line – have this on
your iPad and do it first up
enrol them in a course once you have diagnosed them – based on the principles of cog
therapy then how about doing this course – and coach them through it in session
self help courses (on moodgym I think) are really useful
teach social and emotional competencies go to Reach Out Central – download it from
internet and it is ideal for 12=14 year old – anger management, empathy, good game – try it
myself first
Use the programs to explain common conditions
Youth beyond blue – take them there to help themselves
Nb tell them what you are going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you’ve told
them –
If kids don’t want to come then send them a link with utube to What it might be like to see a
good counsellor or Psych, after first offering them a skype 5 minutes so they get to see a non
school psych
Get the link to WHAT DOES A PSYCH DO
DEPRESSION video all backwards on beyond blue – normalise the condition – there is a way back
from depression
ANXIETY also on beyond blue – youth
Get the client to watch it once or twice and tell me what is similar or different to them
Video about suspension – it would be a holiday bit it feels like being banished – so now I feel worse”
So get a pre-prepared list of thinking errors and help them recognise those errors and then help
them to think them more constructively. E.g. episode 5 – I thought it would be pointless – but I feel
better
Nb Left hand is a great GLBT video – younger adolescents
Have a lot of fact sheets – and laminate them – the y will take it more seriously!
Get some sheets from Headspaceeg got to anger management video on the blog and give them a
fact sheet to take away as well
REACHOUT inspire foundation factsheets – go with CBT about self talk fact sheet
