"Mental Health & Digital Life" with Dr Brent E. Horner, Clinical Psychologist (V130) by WebWednesday

Carrying on under Covid, we continue our series of Wirtual Web Wednesdays at 5pm on 2nd December, 2020.

There is no doubt that the pandemic has shaken the world to its core and turned our lives upside down. We have had no choice but to change the way that we work, play, learn, socialise...communicate.

For this event, we invited Dr. Brent E. Horner, former digital creative director and now highly trained psychologist at the London Medical Clinic, to discuss the impact of our increasingly virtual lives, characterised by social distancing, WFH, quaranteams, covideo meetups and more.

We discuss how digital communications has helped or hindered the following dramatic changes to our lives:
- "3 Ps": protests, politics (US & China) and pandemic
- Work from Home
- Student life
- Family life - domestic & international
- Infodemic - role of digital & social media
- Tele-medicine / tele-therapy - healing at a distance.

At the end, Dr Horner shared a few tips for handling life in these turbulent times.
