Presented by: Marcus Stallworth, LMSW

In today’s world, technology plays a critical part in our day-to-day lives. It allows us to stay connected, share information, and access resources at the push of a button. Although there are many benefits, there can also be some drawbacks. If not used properly- and in moderation- it can create challenges regarding safety, vulnerability, and overall wellness.
