103416 - Social Media and the Internet: The Impact on Young People's Wellbeing
The workshop will provide doctors with a greater understanding of this vital topic that will assist them in understanding the potential risks, safety and mental well-being of young people and the issues they face online.
Relevance to General PracticeCommon problems such as cyber bullying and 'sexting' have received media attention in recent years but the actual psychosocial impacts on a young persons' wellbeing is complex and evolving, requiring in-depth understanding. Through the proposed workshop we aim to optimise communication and collaboration within the community and within general practice (RACGP, 2014).
