The East Penn School District, in partnership with Communities in Schools of Eastern Pennsylvania, will host the annual EPSD Mental Health Symposium for community members interested in learning more about youth mental health and the influence of social media. This event provides families with a supportive environment to learn, connect, and grow together while exploring these important topics.
Keynote speaker Ryan Klingensmith will share educational resources and practical tools to help adults better understand the risks associated with internet and social media use. His presentation will focus on how to guide children toward safe and responsible behavior online and on their smartphones. Attendees will gain valuable insight into the digital world that today’s youth navigate—and how to have meaningful conversations with them about it. Additional event details can be found below.
