A peer mentoring campaign for teens to share their personal stories and strategies with younger teens/tweens to support healthy engagement with tech & media

[goodforMEdia @goodformedia]

It was an honor for our #GoodforMEdia youth leaders to be able to share their ideas directly with leadership from the White House Kids Online Health and Safety Task Force at this important listening session hosted by @stanfordio & @StanfordSML with @stanfordyouthmh

[Assistant Sec. for Mental Health & Substance Use @SAMHSA_Leader]

Many thanks to @Stanfordio for hosting @DavidsonNTIA, @DMulliganUCB and me for the WH Kids Online Health and Safety Task Force listening session. Thanks to all participants for the discussion on how we can promote online safety and well-being for youth. https://t.co/15AFihzfc7

Recognizing the ethical challenge of staying educated and informed while protecting your mental health, we advise students and adults to consider limiting their social media usage in the coming days, updating settings on devices to limit exposure to content that hurts their mental health, and seeking out credible news from verified sources that provide trigger warnings for graphic content.

Our dynamic youth leader Nathan won over the #SMWC7 crowd with a workshop on how #GoodforMEdia’s peer program supports healthy media engagement and can be easily incorporated into school classes and clubs. If you missed it, get in touch: https://t.co/BbZlvNtGgj @stanfordyouthmh

So great to see our colleagues and fellow youth advocates highlighted for their incredible advocacy and impact! @RTyouthpower #designitforus #youthvoice

Such a key point from our Core Team member @sneharevanur:

The emphasis on higher education or Hill experience for influencing public policy “diminishes the importance of the credentials that youth have, which is the credential of lived experience.” https://t.co/AFuPCxuSEX

We started a blog! For our inaugural post, see what our Program Director thinks is missing from the Surgeon General's recent advisory on social media. @stanfordyouthmh @DesignItForUs @hope_yli @stanforddschool @stanfordsml https://t.co/uPKMDQkCQc

@RTyouthpower's support will allow us to fulfill several goals we have for expanding the reach of our efforts to keep talking to youth, parents, media and legislators about designs and policies that support the rights, privacy and wellbeing of young people. @stanfordyouthmh

Inspiring to see young people – the generation most harmed by tech’s negative effects – being empowered to advocate for the inclusive, equitable & accountable tech they want to see. @RTyouthpower @goodformedia @encodejustice

[goodforMEdia @goodformedia]

We are honored to be in the inaugural cohort of @Rtyouthpower's Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund! It's such a privilege to work alongside these visionary funders and 25 youth-led orgs to improve tech's impact on all communities & especially young people! #youthvoice

"policymakers would be wise to take an approach that consults...opinions of young people. Doing so may provide a more thorough understanding of how social media...impacts kids and teens...and provide opportunities to empower young people to better use these tools..." @jrhuddles

[Cato Institute @CatoInstitute]

Currently proposed policy approaches to youth online safety are overly blunt tools that will cause more harm than good. https://t.co/QKG2nHJ9ab @CatoPodcast #CatoTechnology

[goodforMEdia @goodformedia]

Solid recommendations from @CalPartnersProj 's youth-led focus groups, including 1) Invest in racially and ethnically diverse young women and girls to become tech and media company leaders and 2) Expand media literacy programming #youthvoice

How can we re-design social media to better support #youthmentalhealth? Youth shared their ideas directly with industry reps, academic researchers, and policymakers at our event in collaboration with the @stanforddschool on Friday. @stanfordio @StanfordSML @stanfordyouthmh

[goodforMEdia @goodformedia]

A great turnout for our youth-led event last Friday focused on confronting the moral panic around social media & #youthmentalhealth. Nearly 100 participants interacted with thoughtful prompts on designing online spaces and policies that honor #youthvoices.

[Stanford d.school @stanforddschool]

This special event invites young people 18 and under from all backgrounds (in school and out), Stanford students, policymakers and other communities to re-design social media in ways that will prioritize and protect youth mental health.

With so many hard news headlines to take in, our youth leaders created a #GoodforMEdia News Guide to support teens navigating newsfeeds and emotions they can evoke. Just in time for Safer Internet Day #SID2023 #youthmentalhealth https://t.co/GJQVCqyXNM

Our #GoodforMEdia youth leaders accomplished some amazing things in 2022! And we are just getting started! @stanfordyouthmh #youthvoice #youthmentalhealth #CAKidsCode

Five solid recommendations for leveraging social media for connection and flourishing from @greatergoodsc https://t.co/CcAAeExdw5

[goodforMEdia @goodformedia]

Great to see our fellow youth advocates Aliza and @EmmaLembke of @technicallypoli on @_60Minutes sharing their stories to educate and inspire change.

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

“In 8th grade, after years and years of me pushing to get social media, my parents finally relented. And that year was the worst mental health year of my life.”

Given their own experiences, Emma Lembke & Aliza Kopans are lobbying to regulate social media. https://t.co/EmecZD9MIV
