#SaveTheKids packs Snow Canyon High: ‘Most important app for your child is you’ <br /> <br />ST. GEORGE — “How social media is destroying our kids” was the topic presented during an event attended <br />by more than 1,000 Thursday night, where an internet crusader offered parents a lifeline to guard children <br />against social media’s culture of perfection, and to empower parents in the battle to save their children from <br />social engineering. <br /> <br />{ The presentation was based on the premise that smart phones, too much screen time and social media’s <br />negative effects are the underlying link to the epidemic rise in teen depression and anxiety, eating disorders, <br />self-harming, thoughts of suicide and suicide itself.} <br />https://archives.stgeorgeutah.com/news/archive/2018/09/14/cgb-savethekids-packs-snow-canyon-high-most- <br />important-app-for-your-child-is-you/#.Xb9rXjNKhPY <br /> <br />Utah governor unveils education campaign warning of social media. <br /> <br />SALT LAKE CITY — Utah is launching a public information campaign “unmasking” the threat social media <br />use may pose to teenagers, and Gov. Spencer Cox on Thursday promised more litigation against social media <br />platforms in the future. <br /> <br />Recent academic research and a report from U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy have tied social media use to <br />declines in mental health for teens, and Cox said there is a “causal link” between the two. <br /> <br />“We care about our kids in Utah, and I know that’s true across the nation. This is a huge issue that continues to <br />grow,” the governor said while unveiling the campaign at the state Capitol on Thursday. “This is not a <br />conservative issue, it’s not a liberal issue. It’s an American issue. It’s a parent issue.” <br />https://socialemotionalpaws.com/blog-post-1/f/utah-governor-unveils-education-campaign-warning-of-social- <br />media-2 <br /> <br />AB-638 Mental Health Services Act: early intervention and prevention programs.(2021-2022) <br /> <br />AB 638, Quirk-Silva.
