Where's Your Head At? Social media blackout for World Mental Health Day
We took an hour off
To mark World Mental Health Day (October 10th), we here at Downtown Radio called on audiences to ditch social media for one hour after insight commissioned by Where’s Your Head At? reveals the worries surrounding the effects of social media on mental health. The research found:
72% agree it is important to have a break from social media every once in a while;
41% say social media is important to them but 81% agree that social media should be used in moderation;
96% believe that looking after your mental health is just as important as your physical health Mental Health Survey, Bauer Insiders (October 2019)
We took an hour off social media between 1pm-2pm as part of the social media blackout, to celebrate World Mental Health Day.
