Scrolling With Ancestral Wisdom: Supporting Black Youth Mental Wellness in the Digital Age

The Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement in collaboration with TDSB Professional Support Services are excited to invite you to our upcoming Scrolling With Ancestral Wisdom: Supporting Black Youth Mental Wellness in the Digital Age webinar. Join us as we explore the evolving intersection of technology, social media, and Black youth mental health within today’s digital era!

This session, facilitated in collaboration with Dr. Travonne Edwards, will emphasize the importance of preserving ancestral wisdom, cultural grounding, and intergenerational connection as young people navigate digital realities. Rather than positioning technology as inherently harmful or focusing on parental control, this discussion will highlight guidance, relationship building, and culturally informed approaches to supporting Black youth wellness.
