SUMMARY - Social Media and Mental Health

Social media has fundamentally transformed how Canadians communicate, share information, and build communities. Yet as these platforms have become woven into the fabric of daily life, questions about their impact on mental health have grown increasingly urgent. This is not a simple story of technology as villain or saviourā€”the relationship between social media and psychological wellbeing is nuanced, contextual, and still being understood.
