Keegan Lee and Dr. Bilal Ghandour, Ph.D. are the published co-authors of “60 Days of Disconnect” - a psychological perspective of how social media affects human behavior and mental health. This presentation will explore both personal and scientific perspectives as it relates to our digital world. Keegan and Dr. Ghandour intertwines storytelling, research, and introspection to help you understand the psychology behind the platforms, and the effect social media has on the first generation to be born into a world of social media: Generation Z.
Benefits:
This is a great social opportunity to learn more about mental health disparities and how to improve them from a professional. It could also be a potentially good way to network within the field! Open to everyone 🙂
