In collaboration with Massachusetts Partnership for Youth the wellness committee is hosting a community presentation: Mindfulness and the Media on Tuesday, May 10, 2022 from 6:30-7:30. Attendees will learn the neuroscience of social media and game design and why these techs keep us hooked, particularly teens; ways in which social media are especially complex for teens in the realms of social comparison, social hierarchy, social inclusion/exclusion; the neuroscience of mindfulness and what research shows about the cognitive benefits in the areas of focus and self-regulation; the basics of mindfulness practice and its application to media use, to develop habits of intentional attention, for themselves and for their students.
