Hosted in partnership with the Mississippi Mills Youth Centre (MMYC) and Trellis Mental Health, this event is designed to help parents better understand how sleep, technology use and mental health are connected for youth today. The evening will include three short presentations sharing local data and insights, youth perspectives, and guidance from a local mental health provider, followed by a moderated Q&A. The focus of the evening is on realistic, relationship-based approaches that help parents feel confident, informed and connected, have conversations and set boundaries.
