A free workshop on social media and mental health.

Social media platforms are designed to capture as much of our time and attention as possible.

Research has linked excessive social media use to: increased rates of anxiety and depression, reduced self-esteem and reduced attention spans.

This free, interactive workshop is part of UCC Student Union's Mental Health and Wellbeing Week. Together, we will explore questions like:

Why is social media so addictive?

How can scrolling affect out mental health?

How can we build healthier scrolling habits?

It’s not a lecture. The session mixes short talks with reflection and group discussion, so you can share your own experiences and learn from your fellow participants.

The workshop is free, with an optional donation at the end to help cover costs.

Everyone is welcome and we will do out best to create a safe and inclusive environment.

See you there :)
