Good morning, campus-community partners,
January 2026 Webinar: The Digital Dilemma: Exploring Student Loneliness, Mental Health, and Wellbeing in the Age of Social Media and AI
Join us for the first OPCSMH webinar of the new year on Tuesday, January 27th, 2026, at 12pm EST! We'll be joined by Nick Pinkerton, PsyD, Associate Dean of Counseling Services and Wellbeing, Southern Connecticut State University who will discuss "The Great Divergence"-the widening gap between our technological capabilities and our mental health and flourishing. Beyond simple screen-time warnings, this presentation offers a roadmap to reclaiming connection and purpose, empowering participants to become "Cultural Architects" who build human-first zones in a digital-first world.
