New resource hub: News literacy for mental health and wellness

Content that students see online can have a real-life impact. Conflicting medical advice from powerful figures, unrealistic body image standards and heated debates over the latest wellness trends can heighten anxiety and influence students’ personal beliefs and choices.  

That’s why we’ve launched the News literacy for mental health and wellness resource hub, which features a 5-week Brain Gains planner of classroom activities to help students resist health rumors and prioritize their mental wellness. By completing weekly “exercises,” students can strengthen their ability to evaluate claims, understand data, spot bias and navigate algorithms and AI.
