What Does Youth ‘Well-being’ Mean in a Digital Age?

Discussions around the Beyond GDP framework recognise the need to include and incorporate the lived experience of people. As screens increasingly mediate learning, relationships, and leisure, contemporary well-being frameworks must adapt to better consider digital life, particularly in childhood and adolescence.

This engaging conversation with Dr. Michael Rich, MD, MPH (Founder & Director, Digital Wellness Lab at Boston’s Children Hospital) will reflect on how parents, governments, and civil society actors can better navigate our screen-saturated world. The conversation will touch on various multidimensional measures such as Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness Index and the UK Belonging Barometer.

Join us for this discussion about how digital wellness, family practice, and well-being measurement can come together to promote the flourishing of young people in our increasingly digital world. Light refreshments will be provided.
