Topic Tuesday // Symptoms of Social Media - Looking after our Mental Health online // Tues 19th Feb, 7pm AEDT
Is our social media use having a positive or negative impact on our overall wellbeing? How can we balance our perception of instagram posts, facebook statuses and filtered snapchats with realistic expectations of our own lives?
Social Media is not necessarily a negative, or a positive - the benefits of social media of course lie in the way we engage with each platform. Join us on the 19th of Feb featuring our special guest Holly, a youth peer ambassador and online mental health advocate, as we explore the peaks and troughs of social media, including strategies on maintaining healthy mental wellbeing whilst engaging online.

I'm new here - what is Topic Tuesday?
Topic Tuesday runs from 7pm - 9pm AEST monthly. Each month we focus on a different topic, with the session facilitated by a Community Manager or Moderator. Sometimes Topic Tuesday will feature a special guest, who is an expert in the topic.
The first post of the thread (this one) will give you an idea of what the topic is and what will be covered.
How do I get involved?
Topic Tuesday takes place right here! It's text based, so no software is needed. During the session, to keep up with the latest posts hit the 'refresh' button on your browser for the latest posts (it doesn't automatically update). Keep an eye for page numbers at the top & bottom of the page, and jump to the highest page number for the most recent post.
Throughout the session, the facilitator will put questions out for you to answer, usually asking for your own experience on the topic. To contribute to the session, just hit the 'reply' button and share your thoughts. No answers are right or wrong and everyone is welcome to get involved.
If you have any questions about how to use the Forums, check out our Guides.
