Our kids, their screens, the evidence – free film screening

This powerful 3.5-minute film highlights the mounting clinical and academic evidence linking screen use to a wide range of health concerns, including: addictive behaviour, anxiety, problems with sleep, cognitive impairment, speech and language delays, a marked rise in myopia, and ADHD-like symptoms.

The film is a call to action, urging:

1. A public health campaign about the risks of screen usage – beyond content – for children.
2. Stronger legislation to hold big tech accountable and raise the legal age for smartphones and social media to 16.
3. Public health policy to include assessment of screen usage in patients, with relevant training for health professionals.

This film preview will be followed by a Q&A with a panel of experts.
