The Digital Wellness Challenge

Technology can enhance or hinder well-being. While devices can cause distraction and stress, they also offer powerful tools for positive mental health when used mindfully.

Digital wellness means using technology intentionally—leveraging apps and tools that support growth while setting boundaries that protect mental health.
