Episode notes
Is the media benefiting the conversation of mental health or actually creating more problems? If social media didn’t exist, do you think the world of mental health would be better or worse compared to now? Social media has been an incredible platform in generating the discussion on mental health; however, there are downsides to the powerful influence of the media in our lives. In this episode, the hosts discuss the effects of social media in mental health education, from the benefits and opportunities to the misconceptions and comparisons that may arise. In addressing this topic from various points of view and examples, the hosts hope to spread awareness on the importance of mental health education as well as ways to safely navigate the media.
