Previous Wellbeing Wednesdays
Developing online resilience for teenagers
Young people, once exposed to social media, can start to rely on it more and more. Making and maintaining social connections, self-expression and entertainment are just some of the benefits of participating. However, teens are more likely to engage with strangers, share their passwords or experience negativity online. Join GP, broadcaster and Author Dr. Radha Modgil as we learn how young people can be supported to become resilient users of the internet.
Women's health
Our guests look at the challenges that modern, working women face – especially in a male dominated workforce, workplace health and safety issues which particularly affect women, and how they believe organisations can support women better during their employment. They also share advice to young women entering the industry.
