New DigitallyUs initiative to support parents, youths on cyber wellness and mental health
A survey has found that parents may be struggling to recognise how online experiences affect their children's mental health. In a study involving over 300 parents by TOUCH Community Services, almost six in 10 parents said their child experienced mental-health struggles in the past year. Only three in 10 parents reported having regular conversations with their children about online safety. A new initiative, DigitallyUS, hopes to bridge that gap and engage more than 16,000 of youth and parents over the next three years. Natalie Ong reports.
