Join 2B CONTINUED and Trinity Waconia's PTO on Tuesday, October 7, from 6:00-8:00 pm in the Trinity Waconia Worship Center (or online) for an enlightening FREE presentation. This event is designed for parents and community members interested in understanding how the “Internet Age” has profoundly reshaped childhood and adolescent experiences.

Drawing on Jonathan Haidt’s book, “The Anxious Generation,” Dr. Amanda Black, a board-certified psychiatrist, will delve into how device ubiquity and unregulated Internet use affect mental health and overall well-being, especially in children and teens. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of these challenges, as well as practical strategies to mitigate negative outcomes.

Dr. Black, a University of South Dakota-trained psychiatrist, specializes in person-centered approaches to mental health. She is passionate about empowering individuals to address challenges through personalized treatment plans that harness their strengths. Her thoughtful and supportive approach ensures this presentation will leave participants feeling informed and equipped to support the mental health of children and adolescents in the digital age.

We look forward to seeing you there for this important and timely discussion!
