ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ

Although studies have often examined the consequences of screen use, the contexts surrounding what leads to positive social media use is underexplored, particularly in girls. Digital mental health apps can be important resources to complement professional mental health care, particularly apps that take a youth-centered and age-appropriate developmental perspective.

Positive youth development programs are emerging that focus on girls’ empowerment in digital spaces, which is an increasingly critical part of the digital caretaking ecosystem. This article explores some of these programs and makes recommendations for clinicians, community youth providers, and youth program evaluators.
