Tobacco-like warning label for social media sought by US surgeon general who asks Congress to act 06/24/2024

The U.S. surgeon general has called on Congress to require warning labels for social media platforms and their effects on youth mental health. Caminar CEO, Mark Cloutier, has shared the need to identify the risks social media poses, “We can no longer overlook the abundance of warning signs and risks to adolescent mental health posed by social media. With up to 95% of youth ages 13 to 17 using a social media platform, the issue has become so concerning that the Surgeon General issued a warning. Yet the warning signs continue to mount."

Earlier this week, ABC 7 featured Justin Ortiz of Caminar's H.E.A.R.T. Program, who highlighted the importance of discussing and sharing resources for healthy relationships in the LGBTQ+ community.

According to a recent survey conducted by the H.E.A.R.T. Program—which stands for Healthy Equitable and Respectful Together—individuals have difficulties getting the help they need due to several factors.

H.E.A.R.T. offers resources to the community, including workshops for individuals to attend who are seeking help, and provides a comfortable space to share more information on building healthy relationships.
