    Youth Social Media Use and Mental Health and Well-Being: An Evidence Summary

    Report, 2025


    Social media use in youth has increased over the last decade, with most youth using social media regularly. There is a belief that the increase in social media use is responsible for the increase in mental health challenges in youth. However, the research suggests that the associations between social media use and mental health remain unclear, with mixed findings suggesting that the relationships are complex and interrelated. The purpose of this evidence summary is to summarize the evidence regarding potential impacts of social media use on youth mental health and well-being, and recommendations for protecting youth from potential related harms.

  • Opening the Door to Difficult Conversations

    Guide and Manual, 2024


    Opening the Door to Difficult Conversations Toolkit© is designed to assist adult allies in promoting youth health by facilitating groups for youth of any gender identity between the ages of 13-18. The Youth Engagement Toolkit’s primary focus is the upstream prevention of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and other alcohol-related harms. Opening the Door to Difficult Conversations Toolkit© is the combination of three toolkits previously created by the Prevention Institute: At-Risk to Resilient©, The Way Forward©, and Just for Us©. These toolkits were combined and adapted to support accessibility, adaptivity, and inclusiveness.

    Opening the Door to Difficult Conversations Toolkit© provides activities, tools, and information to help adult allies facilitate youth groups. Toolkit activities are designed to provide young people with reliable, accurate, and credible information to encourage them to reflect on their health, make informed decisions about conditions that influence their health, and promote the importance of seeking help when needed. Each activity provides adult allies with ways to open conversations with youth and facilitate discussions about their experiences with alcohol while providing education about alcohol use (their own, their friends, and their communities), alcohol-related harms, harm-reduction, and possible coping strategies. Activities help youth make links between substance use and an increased risk of unintended pregnancy (and subsequently, FASD), sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs), unhealthy relationships, impaired driving, violence, and injuries.

    Please note: Access to the toolkit is restricted to those who have been trained to use either/or the Opening the Door to Difficult Conversations Toolkit©, At-Risk to Resilient Toolkit©, The Way Forward Toolkit©, or Just for Us Toolkit©.
