It's a beautiful fall day here in Washington, DC, and I'm excited to be here participating in the Digital Tools for Youth Mental Health Leadership Summit at The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Today I'll be moderating a panel on how to scale digital solutions for youth mental health with innovative leaders from Hazel Health, psyche care, and Backpack Healthcare. And tomorrow I'll share some early (and troubling) insights from our AI chatbot research and explore how these tools are impacting youth mental health. Full findings will be published in our upcoming December report—stay tuned! Andrew Post Nikki Reiss Mallika Reddy Pajjuri Alicia Bazzano MD, PhD Hafeezah Muhammad

While technology can help bridge distance and keep us connected, it can often get in the way of truly being present. 🫂 Real connection happens offline. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Blue Star Families to celebrate National Veterans and Military Families Month tomorrow at Fenway Park! As the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and U.S. Coast Guard Academy face off, we're giving military families the chance to trade screen time for a VIP experience focused on unplugging, connecting, and modeling healthy digital habits.📱 🏈 Read the full press release via the link in the comments below. #VeteransDay #MilitaryFamilies #DigitalWellbeing

Celebrating Military Families Month at Fenway Park! 🇺🇸⚾ We’re proud to partner with Aura to share a special activation happening during this year’s Secretaries’ Cup: a screen-free, VIP experience for military children and families right in the heart of Fenway Park.

Had a great chat with Alan H. H.

Today is Veteran’s Day, which gives us an opportunity to not only honor the heroes who keep our country safe, but also spotlight the digital risks members of the armed forces (active and veteran) face, long after their service ends. From scams to identity theft, the odds are stacked against veterans, who are disproportionately impacted by online crime. It’s Aura’s mission to help families stay safe and thrive online and off. Today, and every day, we thank our military for protecting us. Now, we’re here to protect you.

On Friday, a couple All-Stars traded their keyboards for candy bags and spent the afternoon at Boston Children's Hospital for a festive Trick-or-Treating event! 🎃🍬 We were honored to participate, and loved helping with fun activities to bring some Halloween joy. This special visit supports our collaboration with Boston Children's Hospital, where we are actively working together to better understand and address the impact of technology on children’s mental health. A little joy and a lot of smart research is how we make a difference - and the smiles are worth every step!♥️ #LifeAtAura

To kick off Military Family Month, we’re extending our TECHWISE study in partnership with Blue Star Families of New England to better understand how technology use affects the mental health and wellbeing of military children. It’s no secret that military kids face unique challenges. Technology keeps them connected while they experience frequent moves, new schools and time apart from deployed family members. Unfortunately, it also adds pressures that impact their mental health in ways many civilian kids don’t experience. We’re excited to create safer digital spaces for military kids through data-driven evidence and solutions. For more details on the study and how to sign up check out: https://lnkd.in/eFWbnhee
