Some quick pointers: use technology mindfully, mindless scrolling (shorts) is more of a mental health problem, don't start your day with electronics, set boundaries with your devices at work and with friends, parents - use screen limits for your teens that are built into smart phone capabilities for parents but don't completely take away access as this can backfire. Instagram is one of the worst for mental health, YouTube is one of the better ones.
