News Anxiety

Created by Sarina Jafarzadeh Sheikh, a psychology student from University of Dundee as part of her placement with Feeling Strong, with support from staff. 

Sarina chose to look at how recent distressing news events and access to news media via social media are impacting young people's mental health. This resource upskills young people on what the term "news overload" means and how to avoid unhealthy habits related to checking news sources.
