The Woodhaven-Brownstown School District is excited to invite you to participate in a special WBSD book study, where we will be reading and discussing The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. This powerful book explores the impact of social media and other digital technologies on our children’s mental health and well-being, while providing guidance on what parents, schools, and communities can do about it. Our discussions will take place virtually for the first three meetings beginning in January with the last meeting in-person, offering participants the chance to learn from one another and gain valuable insights.
If you're interested in joining us, please complete the Book Study Interest Form, linked below.
