This webinar will explore the intersection of social media, the internet, and early intervention in mental health care. Dr Michael Birnbaum will discuss his current exploration of how social media and the internet can influence pathways to care for adolescents and young adults with early signs of psychiatric disorders. We will also discuss the potential of these digital platforms for the timely identification, outreach, engagement, and care of youth experiencing mental illness. This topic is particularly relevant as the increasing prevalence of mental health issues among young people coincides with their growing use of social media, making it essential to understand and leverage these digital tools for effective early intervention and support.
