About the course

In this short course, we will be exploring Screen Addiction through the lens of community mental health using the simple and practical 3Rs approach - Recognise, Respond and Reflect.

SochCast 1: Recognise Screen Addiction 
In this 3 part series, we will explore the concepts of screen addiction through a comparison and contrast with alcohol addiction. We will learn the WHO's ICD-11 criteria for dependence, and how to look for these in the context of screen addiction. 

SochCast 2: Respond to Screen Addiction 
In this 2 part series, we will look at various biological, social, philosophical, theological and psychodynamic narratives of screen addiction, and empower you with practical strategies to deal with this problem from the community perspective through the RAINBOW strategies of our innovative RAINBOW in DELUGE approach. 

SochCast 3: Reflect on Screen Addiction 
Through Reflection, we hope to enrich your learning experience by consolidation and application of what you have learned regarding screen addiction from the community mental health perspective. By modelling a reflection, we will help you revise what you have learned, and will guide you to think about how it can be applied in your own context.
