The Washington Post reports that the average teen spends more than 7 ½ hours a day on technology. This means they are spending those 7 ½ hours a day without any “in person” communication which leads to feeling isolated even though they may be in constant contact with their peers through texting, social media, or online gaming. This ongoing isolation is causing depression, anxiety and other emotional disorders at rates we’ve never seen before.

Lisa Smith, co-founder of Save My Family Today, provides insight into this alarming phenomenon and her experience working with families navigating the rough waters of emotional instability.

A not-to-be-missed show, join us as Lisa also describes for our listeners how her organization’s work with families in crisis, families with young children, teens, and women achieves the compassionate communication flow needed to “reconnect the disconnect”, a process that makes way for healthier, more balanced relationships and smoother sailing into the future.
