>From the School Parent Council Ten more days to the screening of "Screenagers NEXT CHAPTER: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience" >From the director of "Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age", filmmaker >Delaney Ruston's journey started as a parent and physician trying to help her >daughter and patients balance technology use and tackle emotional challenges >facing teenagers. The end result is two documentaries she produced where she >shares her experience and the impact of this global phenomenon on teens and >their families. "Since 2011 there has been a 59% increase in teens reporting depressive symptoms," Ruston said. "There is also an epidemic of sleep deprivation. Scientific data shows that more than two hours a day on social media correlates with a higher chance of having unhappy feelings, and teens say their main way of coping with stress is to turn to a screen. They need to learn other coping skills." "Next Chapter" provides more strategies to equip parents, schools and teens with necessary skills to cope. Mark your calendar: February 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the NTCI auditorium. The screening will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Dale Callender of Skylark.
