Sarah Domoff, a clinical child psychologist, became interested in the impacts of mental health and social media on youth due to conversations with parents and teachers. She has seen a noticeable gap in understanding and addressing issues related to screen time as mobile devices and social media use proliferated among younger people. Domoff emphasizes the importance of open communication between parents and teens about safe online practices, the role of big tech in creating safer online environments, and the need for further research and tailored interventions to help youth navigate social media in ways that are beneficial to their mental health and development. #idaho #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth
