Hooked – Understanding Addiction in the Age of Screens and Substances


What does addiction look like in today’s world for young people? ARIS recently hosted a powerful parent seminar exploring the growing impact of digital, chemical, and behavioural addictions on children and adolescents in today’s fast-changing world.

Through research-informed discussion and practical strategies, families engage in meaningful conversations around early warning signs, the emotional needs driving addictive behaviours, and how parents can better support children in building healthier habits, balance, and resilience. Thank you to all the parents and community members who joined us for this important and timely conversation focused on student wellbeing and modern parenting.
