Child Wellbeing in a Wired World: Innovations and Inadequacies
As adults, we did not grow up with instant access to the latest movie on a parent's iPhone or were given the luxury of calling out for Alexa to inform us why the sky is blue. While remarkable advances in technology have been made, how are they impacting today's children?
This conference will address children's wellbeing in the context of the advances in digital technology. The focus will be on the developmental stages, how these intersect with children's engagement with media at each developmental stage, and implications for next steps.
This program is recommended for LBSW and LMSW beginning skill levels.

Parking information will be emailed to you two business days prior to the event. Please see the link below for maps to Grand Valley State University locations: https://www.gvsu.edu/maps
SWCE POLICIES
Payment & Registration (RECENTLY UPDATED):
- Payment is due upon registration. If a participant registers for a course and has not paid the registration fee, we will send a reminder email to pay the fee. If there is no response and the fee has not been paid within 7 days, the participant will be dropped from the course and may re-register and pay if space is available.
- This is a recent change in our policies to ensure equitable access to courses that have high demand and long waitlists.
- Registration Deadline: Three days prior to the program by 5pm.
- Waitlist Policy: Our social work programs, excluding the DHHS programs, may fill up due to interest in the content. If the course becomes full, we will have a limited wait list. Those who get on a wait list for a course, you will be notified as soon as possible if a seat becomes available and payment must be made upon enrollment. When the typical registration period ends two days prior to the begin date, all those on the list will be notified we can no longer accept people into the class.
