Description
Social Media First Aid is a program designed and created to equip the social media user with insight on how to cultivate a healthy balance with social media use. It is intended to assist social media users with the identification of challenges that may be caused by social media use, while sharing evidence-based research and best practice recommendations for social media consumption to youth, adults, parents, caregivers, and helping professionals. The goal of this training is to equip youth and adults with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand, identify, and respond to social media harms by reducing stigma and the negative effect of social media use by promoting help-seeking behavior, bystander intervention and community-based support services.

Keywords: social media, first aid, challenge, best practice, evidence-based
