Presented in collaboration with InStride Health
How does social media impact teens with anxiety, OCD, or depression?
Join ADAA & InStride Health experts Dr. Daniel Stone and Dr. Jackie Hapenny as they explore how apps like TikTok and Instagram can help teens feel seen—but also add stress, worry, or low self-esteem. You’ll learn real strategies based on CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and exposure therapy to help teens:
Think carefully about what they see online
Find a healthy balance between screen time and real life
Face fears instead of avoiding them
Build stronger emotions and confidence
Perfect for clinicians and caregivers who want to support teens with evidence-based tools in using social media in smart, healthy ways.
