Digital Wellness & Social Media
Concrete strategies to reduce negative online influences and boost positive engagement.
Service Description
Digital Wellness & Social Media Boundaries In the fast-paced digital world, youth are increasingly influenced by social media, online interactions, and constant digital connectivity. The Digital Wellness & Social Media Boundaries workshop series equips youth with skills to foster healthier digital habits, recognize the impact of online environments on their mental health, and develop a more balanced relationship with technology. These workshops focus on creating mindful online practices, reducing digital overwhelm, and building personal responsibility in online spaces, all without a clinical lens. Small group sizes allow for open conversation, practical exercises, and the development of personalized action plans that promote digital well-being. Healthy Online Spaces: This session helps youth critically evaluate their digital environments. Through guided reflection and interactive group activities, participants identify positive versus harmful online spaces, learn how to cultivate a healthy digital atmosphere, and practice techniques to curate their feeds. Activities include "feed audits," creating lists of uplifting accounts to follow, and identifying online spaces that support well-being. Social Media & My Mood: This workshop empowers youth to become aware of how digital interactions impact their emotions. Participants track their screen time, reflect on the emotional effects of different apps, and use mood journaling to map connections between social media use and mood shifts. Strategies for reducing exposure to toxic content, practicing mindful scrolling, and creating a healthier digital routine are introduced. Digital Detox Day: In this engaging session, youth explore the benefits of unplugging and taking purposeful breaks from screens. Activities include designing personalized digital detox challenges, creating a plan for screen-free activities, and reflecting on the emotional and social benefits of reducing screen time. The session reinforces the idea that tech breaks can be fun, rewarding, and refreshing. Screen Time Boundaries for Success: This session focuses on building proactive digital habits that support academic and personal goals. Participants learn to set screen time limits, use productivity tools, and create a "focus environment" for studying or relaxing without device distractions. Youth leave with an individualized plan to balance productive time and leisure screen use.

Welcome to Grounded Stars! Participant Group Rules — Please Read Carefully There are no refunds. Please reach out if you need to reschedule your missed class. We're happy to help. Our group spaces are designed to be safe, supportive, and protected spaces for youth and young adults. To keep it that way, everyone must follow these important rules while participating in any class, workshop, or group session. Camera Rules Cameras must stay ON during the entire session so we can protect the group and make sure everyone is really who they say they are. If you need to step away, you must tell the facilitator in chat or on camera before leaving. You can only be away for up to 10 minutes. If your camera is off and you ignore two reminders from the facilitator, you will be removed from the session for safety reasons. Respect and Behavior Rules Always show respect to other participants and facilitators. No bullying, harassment, or disrespectful language. No foul language, slurs, or hateful speech — this is a safe zone for everyone. Be open-minded and supportive of others, no matter their background or life experiences. Privacy and Safety Rules No sharing your contact information (phone numbers, social media, email, addresses) in the group or after the group. Do not ask for or pressure anyone else to share their personal information. You must be alone on camera, with no friends or family joining your screen unless it’s a family program. They can sit beside you. You must join from a quiet, safe space with no background distractions like loud TV, phone calls, or music. Dress Code You must be FULLY dressed in public-appropriate clothing during all sessions. Time and Attendance Be on time! The session will start on time, and anyone joining late may not be allowed in.
