Supporting Physical and Mental Wellbeing in a Screen-Based World
Our October Upskill Studio brings together two professionals who will offer their perspectives on the physical and psychological considerations of living, learning and working in an increasingly screen-based world.
Susanna Albertyn | Physiotherapist
Physical Wellbeing in a Screen-Based World
Susanna will explore the physical considerations associated with screen use, including posture, ergonomics, movement and screen habits. The session will consider how our use of technology can influence how we sit, move, and work.
Cerise Rabie | Educational Psychologist
Mental Wellbeing in a Screen-Based World
Cerise will explore the psychological considerations of growing up and working in a screen-based world, including mental wellbeing, regulation and the broader impact of screen habits across different stages of life.
In this session, you’ll explore:
* Posture and ergonomics
* Screen habits and everyday technology use
* Movement and regulation
* Mental wellbeing
* Considerations for children and learners
* The transition from school to the workplace
* Physical and psychological perspectives on screen-based living
* Practical considerations for supporting wellbeing in screen-based environments
This session offers an opportunity to consider screen use from both physical and psychological perspectives, and to think about how the environments in which we learn and work can influence wellbeing and functioning.
