This year, the CDC’s annual Youth Risk Behavior Survey offered a grim outlook for the wellbeing of young people. Over the next few weeks, we’re bringing together experts, advocates, and school leaders to better understand the impact of social media on mental health, discuss how best to support young people in the social media age, and explore the role of regulations and restrictions in this special podcast series that we’re calling, “Can Teens Survive the Digital World?”

In our last episode, we spoke with Dr. Jill Walsh, professor of sociology at Boston University, about how teens are navigating their physical and digital worlds. Today, in the third episode of this special series, Jill is joined by Dr. Jacqueline Nesi, clinical psychologist, Assistant Professor at Brown University, and founder of Tech Without Stress, to discuss her research on the effects of social media on teen behavior and to better understand how parents think about their children’s use of social media.
