Are you aware that social media can impact our kids' mental health?

 

Sorcha Newby is a psychological researcher and university lecturer whose work explores how social media impacts children’s wellbeing—particularly sleep, anxiety, and emotional development in 10–12-year-olds. Her research highlights the shortcomings of current social media policies in protecting young users. Alongside lecturing in psychology, Sorcha is committed to empowering parents with

 

knowledge and practical tools to navigate the digital world confidently. As a mother of two, she brings both academic expertise and lived experience to help families build healthier digital habits.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Anne Alvares.  I came from childhood pain.  I suffered abuse, controlling parents, and was parentified.  My healing journey began almost 30 years ago when I first told my story.  When I became a mother, I was determined to heal and not repeat the patterns of my childhood in my own parenting with my children.

 

Now, I teach parents how to foster healthy relationships with their kids.  When we uncover our childhood story and become aware of our triggers, we can begin to heal and change.  When we do this, our children thrive and we can feel good about our parenting.

 

Let me help you to heal and to change.

Anne Alvares, Parent Coach, School Counsellor, Mom of Two
