MACHS Presentation: The Impact of Technology on Mental Health

April 19, 2009 by Kate Anthony

I am honored to have been a part of the Mid-Atlantic Consortium for Human Services.  The 2009 Annual Conference was held at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, NJ. I am adjunt faculty at the college teaching Introduction to Psychology.  The focus of the conference: Improving the Health and Wellness of Human Services Receipients and Providers: Thinking Globally and Acting Locally.

Yesterday I presented a 90-minute workshop entitled The Impact of Technology on Mental Health.  The presentation offered an overview of the impact of technology on mental health ranging from online counseling, self-help websites, wikis, podasts and blogs, gaming, virtual worlds, social networks and other related information.  We had a lively discussion ranging from ethics to internet addiction! I offered a handout of various links that embodied the available resources and interventions online. 

Here is a sample of some of the website links I offered:
