A wonderful time in Montréal, filled with learning, connection, and conversation!
In June, our Lab team attended the International Academy of Law and Mental Health's XXXIXth Congress in Montréal, where we presented four topics exploring the intersections of law, policy, and mental health in a digital age.
Our presentations included:
Children’s Screentime and Problematic Behaviours: Whose Responsibility is it to Protect and Promote Their Well-Being? by Jessica Wheeler and Dr. Jennifer Laffier
The Risky World of Influencers: Exploring the Risks Influencers Pose to the Safety and Well-Being of Children and the Protection Measures Needed by Madison Westley and Dr. Jennifer Laffier
The Intersection of Rural Youth, Online Hate and Digital Wellness by Dr. Jennifer Laffier, Dr. Barbara Perry, and Madison Westley
Supporting At-Risk Youth in Custody or Care with Digital Wellness by Jo Marino and Dr. Jennifer Laffier
Across the sessions, we discussed the vital role that policymakers, technology developers, educators, social workers, parents, the criminal justice system, and youth themselves can play in protecting children and youth from harm through technology.
We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to these important conversations and to connect with others working at the intersection of law and mental health to support positive change.
Stay tuned as our exploratory work continues to advance!
Merci Montréal — quel plaisir d’avoir pris part à une conférence aussi inspirante!
