Anxious Generation Community Conversations

New Providence School District, in collaboration with The Mindful Generation, is hosting a three-part program to support parents, educators, coaches, and caregivers in helping students thrive. This series focuses on digital balance and mental wellness, recognizing the critical role that families, schools, and the wider community play in shaping healthy habits and resilience.

Grounded in research, including insights from Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation, the sessions will explore how screen use, anxiety, and stress affect young people—and what can be done collectively to restore balance. Since students spend only about 25% of their waking hours in school, these conversations emphasize that solutions must extend beyond the classroom. By working together across home, school, and community, we can foster the social, emotional, and academic well-being of every child.
