As young people spend increasing amounts of time online, their social lives, and  turn, their social and emotional wellbeing, they become increasingly entrenched in the digital world.  As they journey through adolescence in this permanently public landscape, dealing with the effects on self-esteem, friendship issues, self-worth and wellbeing can be challenging.  This webinar will look at how we can best equip our young people to thrive both online and in real life as they grow up immersed in online spaces.
