    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.

    Becoming Trauma-informed: Trauma-informed Practices and How They can be Implemented in Relation to the Pre-conception, Prenatal, and Postnatal Period

    Report, 2022


    Trauma involves an experience or experiences that are physically or emotionally harmful and result in long-term negative effects on functioning and well-being. Many people experience trauma during their lifetime. Having experienced trauma may play a role in sexual risk behaviours, unplanned pregnancies, substance misuse and dependence, and negative impacts on pregnancy, parenting, and children. Given the prevalence and impact of trauma during the perinatal period, it is recommended that services and interventions have a trauma-informed approach. This review examines recent literature on the impacts of trauma, and a trauma-informed approach to working with families, particularly in the pre-conception, prenatal, and postnatal period.
