TOOLS TO SUPPORT STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Governor Sanders recently expressed her support to pursue four goals related to improving teen mental health in Arkansas:

No smartphones before high school
No social media before 16
Phone-free schools
More outdoor play and childhood independence

At Wayfinder, we recognize that limiting the use of addictive devices is a start, but helping students learn healthy + safe behaviors regarding social media and phone use is the key to long-term success.
