Susan Reynolds, co-founder of LookUp.Live will visit “The Morning Show” on February 17th.
Reynolds was an English and social studies teacher, curriculum developer, and the first Director of Academic Technology at the Fenn School in Concord, MA prior to co-founding LookUp.Live in 2019.
Host Mary Jacobsen will interview Reynolds about the youth-led non-profit’s mission to help young people thrive in a digital world.
One of the unintended consequences of the digital revolution, LookUp.Live reports, has been a negative impact on the mental health of vulnerable youth. An increase in online hate and discrimination, unrealistic beauty standards, and quantified popularity has fueled alarming rates of anxiety, stress, and depression.
Reynolds will discuss strategies that the youth leaders of LookUp.Live plan to use to create a digital world in which all youth of any race, class, body type, gender, sexual orientation, or ability feel welcome, respected, represented, and safe.
“The Morning Show” broadcasts on Thursday at 9 AM on Channel 9 and WJOP (FM 96.3). The show is also be available at 9 AM on YouTube at NCMHub.org. After broadcast, scroll down the YouTube Playlist for the show, or listen on the Sound Cloud (click the cloud icon) at NCMHub.org.
