On-Demand Webinar - "Snaps, Sexts, Selfies & Self-Esteem: The Social Media Landscape for Girls"

Social media has transformed the lives of girls in big ways and is impacting the ways girls navigate their personal and social lives. With high school girls spending an average of six hours a day on social media and 2 out of 3 reporting that they have been asked to send a revealing photo to another person, it is no wonder that parents are at a loss when it comes to helping girls navigate their social world.

Now more than ever, the digital divide between girls and parents is widening. Today's generation of girls have never known a time without social media. As soon as they acquire their first phone, girls receive access to an entire new social and digital world. As a result, the ways in which parents communicate with, relate to and connect with girls must also evolve. No longer can we simply tell girls to “put the phone away” or rely on restricting and monitoring as our sole parenting practices.

In this one-hour webinar, Dr. Lisa Hinkelman uses the findings of the first-of-its-kind, groundbreaking research of The Girls' Index conducted by ROX to share new insights and compelling data about the technological lives of girls. Participants will leave with resources and strategies necessary to helping girls more successfully navigate their online experiences.

This workshop is geared for parents, mentors, coaches and youth workers.
