"Digital well-being" has become one of the defining ideas of our time, but what does it actually mean?

Is it about using technology to support our mental health, strengthen social connections and help us thrive? Or is it something broader: finding balance, purpose and control in our everyday relationship with digital technologies?

Children and young people are at the centre of many conversations about digital well-being. Questions about social media, educational technology, screen time and online safety continue to shape public debate, as families, educators, policymakers and young people themselves navigate an increasingly digital world.

At the same time, growing concern about the impact of technology on our lives is influencing policy responses globally, with Australia emerging as a key site of innovation and reform.

This seminar brings together leading experts in youth mental health, researchers exploring how ideas of well-being are being shaped in schools, policy and commercial settings, and thinkers interested in the bigger question of what it means to live a happy, balanced and meaningful life in a digital age.

Whether you're interested in young people and children's welfare, the role of technology in everyday life, the future of education, or current debates about social media and regulation, this event offers an opportunity to engage with some of the most pressing questions of our time.

Most importantly, it's for anyone who cares about mental health and what "the good life" looks like in a world shaped by digital technology.

This event is available both in person and online via Zoom. Please select your preferred ticket type when registering.

Join us after the seminar for networking, drinks and canapés.
