Moreover\, for individuals on the wrong side of the digital divide\, the inability to access digital resources can perpetuate feelings of exclusion\, inadequacy\, and frustration\, potentially impacting their mental well-being. Thus\, integrating mental health awareness into digital skills education is not just a matter of technical proficiency but a vital component of fostering inclusive\, supportive communities in the digital age. Join us as we discuss strategies for fostering an environment of empathy\, patience\, and support so that we not only impart essential digital skills but also contribute to the emotional resilience and life-long empowerment of our learners. \nRaffle Giveaway: Managing Digital Navigators \nREGISTER TODAY \n\n\n Related URL:https://communitytechnetwork.org/event/mental-health-matters/ LOCATION:Lunch & Learn Webinar\, Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://communitytechnetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/LNL_4.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20240425T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20240425T140000 DTSTAMP:20241223T223620 CREATED:20240416T162048Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240416T203418Z UID:10000378-1714042800-1714053600@communitytechnetwork.org SUMMARY:Celebrating Librarians: The Original Digital Navigators DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n\nIn honor of School Library Month\, digitalLIFT celebrates librarians as the most trusted digital navigators in our communities.
