dc.description.abstractSocial media platforms have become heavily ingrained in the lives of adolescents, with the number of adolescent users on these platforms rapidly increasing. The content shared by users on these platforms is often heavily edited through tools and filters found on the apps. This represents a concern for how social media influences the development and perception of body image in adolescents. Thus, this capstone aims to investigate the impact of social media use on adolescent mental health and development, particularly in relation to body dissatisfaction. A two-day workshop for parents is proposed to increase their knowledge of social media platforms, adolescent vulnerabilities due to their developmental stage, and parental strategies to mitigate potential negative impacts.
