Listen: Dr Linda Papadopoulos on how to take control of your online messaging

Through the ups and downs of the past year, many of us stayed connected with the people we care about online. But while technology has given us some incredible new tools to communicate, it’s important to know exactly how to use these tools to build better, healthier relationships, while protecting our own wellbeing.

This could be focusing on more valuable online connections, setting boundaries, deciding to end a relationship or focusing your attention on building more significant bonds with fewer people.

Now is a critical time for self-care, as each of us have become more mindful of both the value of connection and the energy required to sustain it. 

Ahead of World Mental Health Day, Messenger has partnered with expert psychologist Dr. Linda Papadopoulos to empower you to take control of your online connections, set healthy boundaries, and have more meaningful interactions online.
