Join this discussion to learn more about the connection between media literacy and mental health, and what media literacy interventions can have a positive impact.

This webinar will present some ideas for learning digital citizenship skills across a local community. Presented in partnership by Carrie Rogers-Whitehead, founder of Digital Respons-Ability and Sylvia Stein, the founder of StickTogether, attendees will leave with both out-of-the-box and out-of-the-classroom ideas.
