dc.description.abstractSocial media is an integral part of most female-identifying adolescents' daily lives. As social media use has grown, the question of its influence on mental health and wellbeing has been examined without concrete answer. Due to this and the prevalence of social media use, it has been recommended that counsellors working with adolescents assess for social media's influence on adolescents' mental health and wellbeing. This capstone examined the research on assessing social media use in counselling and research on the influence of social media to determine what categories should be included in such an assessment. This research concluded that the following factors should be included in such an assessment: the duration and frequency of social media use, what social media platforms adolescents use, what forms of use they partake in, how adolescents are behaving online, the person of the adolescent user, and the role social media plays in their life. Finally, this capstone proposed a study to solidify the inclusion of these factors in a framework for counsellors to use to assess female identifying adolescents' social media use and its influence on mental health and wellbeing.
