During the meeting, we will:

We also plan to have a potluck dessert social following the meeting so please bring a dessert to share, if you'd like (appreciated but not required to attend the meeting). And, finally, we'll be selling Frost spirit wear, 8th grade lawn signs, and all new Frost car magnets! If you pre-ordered a lawn sign, you can pick it up at the meeting on Thursday.
Discussion on the Impact of Social Media on Adolescent Mental Health
As young people navigate the digital world—often with their first smartphones—parents and students alike are grappling with how to build healthy habits and stay informed. Dr. Aron will share what the latest research reveals about social media’s effects on mental health, attention, and sleep, and offer practical guidance for families. The presentation will also include information about a new NIH-funded study that Frost students and their families may be eligible to join.
About the Speaker
Dr. Emily Aron is a child and adolescent psychiatrist at the Georgetown University Medical Center. Her work focuses on how social media use affects mental health in youth, particularly during the critical window when they first receive a smartphone. Dr. Aron is a co-investigator on a large, NIH-funded study following middle schoolers over time to better understand the links between social media use and outcomes like anxiety, depression, and attention challenges. She is also passionate about helping families navigate the digital world with knowledge and confidence.
We hope to see you there!!
