In today’s world of nonstop digital connection, social media and constant internet access are woven into nearly every aspect of our daily lives. But how does this constant connectivity affect our mental and emotional well-being?

Join the Farm Family Resource Initiative (FFRI) at SIU Medicine for an engaging webinar exploring the hidden costs of our “always on” world. We’ll take a close look at how endless notifications, social media comparisons, and information overload are reshaping our brains and emotions—from heightened stress and anxiety to reduced attention and emotional burnout.

Participants will learn practical strategies to:

  • Create healthier digital boundaries
  • Build emotional resilience
  • Maintain a more balanced relationship with technology

This webinar is especially relevant for farmers, farm families, and agricultural industry professionals, but all are welcome to attend.
