.@HealthFdn's #FutureHealthInquiry found 4 in 5 young people agree they are under pressure to appear or behave in a certain way on #socialmedia. Good input for the @socialmediaAPPG inquiry launching next week! https://t.co/jgo09KAgmg #StatusOfMind

Skills & qualifications; personal connections; emotional, practical & financial support - the essentials young people need for a healthy future. Fewer than 1 in 6 in the UK feel they have all those things, according to @HealthFdn's #FutureHealthInquiry https://t.co/MqbF6hqQOb

Gaming addiction is to be listed as a #mentalhealth condition for the first time by @WHO - a step in encouraging this to be taken more seriously? https://t.co/xFhCriOWA2 #gamingaddiction

Don't forget that #Condoms protect against #STIs which can cause infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease and meningitis https://t.co/f7rcHElFsY https://t.co/TSsQnUOsES

Introducing internet-based testing for #STIs has doubled testing uptake in South London boroughs! Left undiagnosed/untreated, STIs such as #chlamydia and #gonorrhoea can increase the risk of #HIV transmission and cause a range of health issues @LSTMnews https://t.co/1Q454tK6vS

.@Facebook have admitted that social media can be bad for your mental wellbeing. In our #StatusOfMind report, we asked the public about their experiences with #socialmedia https://t.co/X0WuSpQL5Y

[Royal Society for Public Health @R_S_P_H]

Good that @facebook are taking these issues seriously. Rebalancing your active/passive use of #socialmedia is likely to be better for your #mentalwellbeing, but this could be better done by reducing passive use and overall time spent https://t.co/J5nfBJeSRZ #StatusOfMind
