This film is a continuation of the 2016 documentary “Screenagers” by Dr. Delaney Rustin, and it tackles the mental wellbeing of teens in the digital world. The documentary talks about stress, anxiety, depression, sleep and brain development. This is a FREE event, and no RSVP is required.
After the film, there will be a brief panel discussion with local experts. The Herrick PTA looks forward to seeing you Nov. 5!
