In today’s fast-paced world, our relationship to mental health is evolving just as quickly as our relationship with technology. In this webinar, we'll explore how the digital space can be both a powerful ally and a challenge for mental health. We'll discuss how technology offers opportunities for connection, but also how we can protect our children from harmful influences by fostering critical thinking and creating safe spaces for open conversations. 

Key points:

• Hear about the way parents, schools and the community can support children’s health and well-being with technology and allied health professionals.
• Learn about ways technology can be used to deliver high quality and effective allied health to the most remote communities.
• Gain insights and strategies for how to support your school age child’s anxiety and stress in relation to technology

This webinar is part of a three part series:

Digital Futures Community Connection Series

The Digital Futures Community Connection Series, delivered in partnership with the Telstra Foundation and PROJECT ROCKIT, is a free online webinar designed to equip parents, carers, and educators with the tools, strategies, and confidence to guide young people through today’s fast-changing digital landscape.

Why this series matters:

Informed by the Australian Youth Digital Index, this series tackles the very real online challenges shaping young peoples' lives right now. Across three unique sessions in 2025 (and four more in 2026), we'll give you the tools, language, and confidence to:

• Have open, impactful conversations with kids about technology
• Support healthy tech habits that protect wellbeing and sleep
• Understand how algorithms influence what young people see and how to guide them through it

In a fast changing digital world, the best way to protect and empower young people is to stay informed, connected, and proactive.
