Although social media connects people in positive ways, it can cause harm as well. That’s why it’s important to protect your own mental health when using social media and to monitor your child’s social media use.

“Cyberbullying has been shown as more destructive on an individual than in-person bullying,” said Clark Flatt, president and founder of The Jason Foundation, a leading provider of educational resources and programs dedicated to raising awareness and preventing youth suicide.

In this video, Clark and Dr. Frank Drummond, HCA Healthcare’s national medical director of Behavioral Health discuss social media, cyberbullying and tips for talking to your children about how online content affects them.

If you or someone you know is considering suicide, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or go to the nearest emergency room.
