Screens,disconnection, & Mental Illness

Research shows that the rapid increase in time kids are spending on screens is re-wiring their brains, affecting their ability to cope with the real world, and contributing to the soaring rates of depression, anxiety and ADHD.  More than anything it is sabotaging our kids’ fundamental and innate need to connect to themselves and others,which disconnection is the root of all human suffering, mental illness and addiction.  In this session we will discuss ways to protect our children from the damaging effects of screen time and to help them learn to become connected again to their natural way of being.
