Wednesday 21 May from 6pm to 8:30pm
Doors open 5:45pm, Panel 6:15pm-7:30pm, followed by drinks & canapes
From playtime to screen time, today’s youth are growing up in a world of swipes, scrolls, and constant connection. But at what cost?
Join award-winning host and producer of All in the Mind, Sana Qadar, as she moderates a compelling panel of leading psychologists, psychiatrists and industry experts. Together, they’ll explore how digital technology is shaping the mental health and wellbeing of children and teens, unpacking the science behind addictive design, the rising prevalence of mental disorders, and the real-world harms linked to online behaviour.
But it’s not all doomscrolling. This timely conversation will also highlight how technology is being used to support young people — from early interventions to innovative digital tools that improve access to mental health care.
As digital technology becomes ever more embedded in young people’s lives, discover how the risks can be better understood, the benefits harnessed, and young minds supported in navigating an increasingly connected world.
