This professional development tool from Ball State University’s Teachers College examines the growing adolescent mental health crisis and its connection to social media use. The facilitator provides a research-based overview of factors contributing to social media addiction, highlighting how adolescent developmental stages influence vulnerability. The toolkit also explores the legal restrictions on minors’ social media use and the role of educational interventions in promoting healthier digital habits. Practical classroom activities equip educators with strategies to help students maximize the benefits of social media while minimizing risks. Teacher and principal preparation programs can use this tool to train future educators and school leaders on integrating digital literacy and mental health awareness into their curricula and policies.
