The digital landscape has changed dramatically for young people since the pandemic, with significant increases in negative online behaviours and wellbeing concerns. Young people need greater support from school communities in navigating their digital lives, but many educators are fatigued keeping
learning on track, and parents are feeling overwhelmed and out of their depth.

So, how can we transform communities from numbed observers to competent digital wellbeing partners?

Join Yasmin to discuss:
- How the digital landscape has evolved, including the post COVID landscape when it comes to digital risks
- The impact of these changes on a school community that is not widely empowered and engaged
- Practical ways to equip communities to help elevate student digital wellbeing and enhance learning outcomes.

"Yasmin's extensive knowledge of 'all things digital' enables us, and our community to understand the pressures on adolescent girls in our ever-changing world. Over many years, our students, staff and parents have benefitted from her presentations and are able to digitally safeguard more confidently due to her shared insights. Yasmin is extremely skilled and knowledgeable - I could not recommend her presentations more highly.”
