Parents, youth, educators, and community members are invited to a special community screening of the powerful documentary Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age. This engaging film explores how technology—especially smartphones, social media, gaming, and digital devices—affects the daily lives, development, and wellbeing of young people.

Why This Film Matters

Today’s youth are growing up in a world where screens are nearly everywhere. From school assignments and social media to gaming and messaging friends, digital devices shape how young people learn, communicate, and relax.

Screenagers dives into the latest scientific findings and research on topics such as:

• The effects of video gaming on focus and behavior
• How screen time impacts sleep and mental health
• The influence of social media on relationships and self-esteem
• The growing use of phones and smartwatches among youth
• Strategies families can use to create healthy tech habits

Through real stories, expert insights, and practical solutions, the film encourages meaningful conversations between youth and adults about navigating the digital age.
