Students will learn about how stress may be a consequence of excessive use of social media and how this can impact on their daily lives. This includes ‘FOMO’: the ‘fear of missing out’ on anything from an exciting event to a conversation that their friends are having – or even just general social media updates.

Using peer-to-peer activities, students will discuss how they might manage any online stress, and understand the importance of asking for help when needed.
