#TikTokBoom?

Has social media detonated a mental health crisis, and how can we stop it?

Be part of the studio audience for the Pillar & Step recording with Glynn Harrison and Katharine Hill.

Thu 3 Oct 2024, 7 – 10pm, All Souls Langham Place, W1B 3DA

A mental health crisis has been brewing amongst young people since the early 2010s. Rates of self harm, eating disorders, anxiety and depression and suicide have risen sharply amongst Generations Z and Alpha, coinciding with the cultural penetration of social media and the introduction of the front-facing camera on mobile phones. Is that just a coincidence, or is there a deeper connection?

Come and listen in as psychiatrist Glynn Harrison talks with Katharine Hill, speaker and author of ‘Left to their own devices’, about the effect of social media and mobile usage on the minds of young people, the impact on our lives, and whether we can have faith in the future?

Whether you’re worrying about the social media habits of your children or grandchildren, or concerned about the effect that your mobile phone is having on your own brain, join us for #TikTokBoom? an event in three parts: keynote presentation from Professor Glynn Harrison, conversation between Glynn and Katharine Hill, followed by Q&A from our live studio audience.
