A new policy paper focused on youth mental health recommends raising the minimum age to use social media from 13 to 16 in Canada. The paper, “Wired for Worry: How smartphones and social media are harming Canadian youth,” makes six policy recommendations to mitigate the effects of social media, as it says evidence indicates it's “a major contributor to, and likely a leading cause of, declining youth mental health.” #socialmedia #mentalhealth #youth https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/raising-age-for-social-media-access-urged-in-report-on-canadian-youth-mental-health/article_979eb185-c6f3-48ff-8418-b1387df01d22.html
