Hi everyone, welcome back to your virtual Health and Wellbeing Kit.
This week’s focus is on social media safety and staying smart online.
Social media is a great way to stay connected with friends and the world around you – but it’s also important to use these platforms in a way that protects your wellbeing and privacy, so here are a few useful tips:
🔒 Keep your accounts private – this gives you control over who can view your posts and interact with you.
🚫 Don’t hesitate to block or report anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable. Your online space should feel safe and supportive.
⏰ Monitor your screen time using tools including the screen time section of your settings app! Even small breaks can help reduce stress and improve focus.
Social media should be a positive part of your life, not something that overwhelms it. Stay safe, stay balanced, and always look after your digital wellbeing!
