In our digital age, social media, smartphones, online gaming and AI have become powerful forces, reshaping how we connect, communicate and perceive ourselves and others. While this bold new digital world offers unprecedented opportunities for connection and self-expression, it also brings complex challenges to mental health and wellbeing across all age groups.

Our expert panel of psychologists and academics, moderated by comedian Julian Morrow of The Chaser fame, will examine how properly understanding and managing these relatively new social impacts of online engagement is crucial so we can strive for a balanced and nuanced approach that supports mental health, fosters genuine connections and harnesses the power of digital technology for the greater good.

A Q&A will conclude the event.
