Research shows that our youth struggle with many mental health issues and that screen time and social media play a large role in that struggle. Parents and grandparents of all ages of children should plan to attend Wednesday night's FREE showing of Can't Look Away The Case Against Social Media. It will be held at 7 p.m. at the Blair Theatre. High school age students are welcome to attend. It is not recommended for students under the age of 14.
