This often-overlooked crisis is further exacerbated by social media and challenges like COVID-19. In her speech, Dr. Fiellin will offer invaluable insights into the current state of adolescent mental health and highlight the transformative potential of digital technologies in supporting young people. Drawing from the impactful work of the play2PREVENT Lab at Dartmouth College, she will showcase how using digital health games offers scalable solutions that improve mental wellness and outcomes on a global scale.
