Wonks at Work | Episode 63
There is growing concern about the role social media plays in the mental health and development of young people. Arkansas’s governor, multiple other states, Congress, and the courts are all delving into this issue. The U.S. surgeon general has even called for warning labels on social media platforms. As those efforts move forward, it falls upon parents, families, educators, and others in the community to support our children as they navigate these new technologies. On this episode of the Wonks at Work podcast, we learn more about the impact of social media on Arkansas youth with Dr. Tiffany Howell, a pediatric psychologist at Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
