This week, I speak with Dr. Robin Henderson, or Doc Rob as she likes to be called, about the impact of digital technology on youth mental health. Doc Rob is the Chief Executive of Behavioral Health for Providence Health in Oregon. We discuss the importance of accessible mental health resources and the need for critical thinking regarding screen time and social media use. We also discuss how tech policy influences access to mental health support and the positive initiatives of young people in creating their own support networks and crisis interventions.

In this episode of Safety is Sexy, Dave Byrne and I talk about the intersection of trust and safety with brand safety, revenue impact, the role of AI, the importance of communication and education across teams, and the evolving landscape of trust and safety in the coming year.
