In today's digital age, screens and technology play an integral role in our daily lives. From virtual learning to social connections, the use of devices has become ubiquitous, especially among children. Compass Health Center recognizes the need for a balanced and intentional approach to screen use and is thrilled to launch its Screen Dependence program for children and teens ages 8-14.

Signs of Screen Overreliance in Children:

• Excessive preoccupation with screens/devices
• Frequent planning of screen time even when not using devices
• Escalating urges to engage in screen-related activities
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce screen time
• Frustration or distress when unable to access screens
• Negative impact on academics, social life, family relationships, etc.
• Using screens to escape personal problems
