SEEN: MASTERING CHILDREN’S MENTAL HEALTH IN THE DIGITAL AGE

BEING SEEN is a community forum that brings us together to share tools to empower parents, educators, clinicians, and policy-makers to promote children's mental health, digital literacy, and wellness in the digital age.

There is an urgent need for a collective effort to shape how society, tech companies, parents, educators, clinicians, and policymakers prioritise and protect our youngest users in the digital age and ensure that children are SEEN by healthy adults more than screens.

Here's something you can do to empower yourself to protect our children's mental health and navigate the digital age. Join us at the forum.

The panel will feature leading experts:

• Sam Jockel, CEO of Parent TV and producer of the SEEN documentary, helps parents acquire the tools they need to be the parents they want to be.

• Melanie Pilling, Weekend Editor of the Courier Mail and The Sunday Mail, will discuss the origins and stories of the “Let Them Be Kids” campaign and effecting policy and government changes.

• Professor Selena Bartlett, a Neuroscientist and Author of BEING SEEN, will discuss how parents and educators can protect children’s mental health throughout their lives.
• Professor Jeff Brand, Bond University Games Researcher and of the Australia Plays Series
• Wade Haynes, Panel Moderator, Former Executive Principal of Brisbane State High School

We are at a critical point, and coming together around the importance of children's mental health is essential. If you are feeling helpless and struggling with what to do to keep your kids or students safe online, know you are not alone—many people are suffering in silence- there are many simple things we can do to empower ourselves to protect our children. Join us in this mission and participate in the movement towards a safer digital future for all of us and, most importantly, our children.

I look forward to seeing you on August 8th, 2024, at 6 pm, for a 6.30 pm start until 8pm. For people who cannot make it to the event, there will be a live stream available. Please register to attend face-to-face to allow for catering or the live stream so you can receive the link.
