GMDE Therapy
Growing Minds in the Digital Era (GMDE)
The Growing Minds in the Digital Age (GMDE) program is a 12-week digital wellness and recovery plan that is specifically designed to support children and teenagers who have been negatively affected by excessive screen usage. Today’s youth face many challenges related to technology addiction, social media dependence and video gaming disorders. Our thorough, multidisciplinary program takes a structured approach to address the impact of excessive use of screens on a young person’s body, mind and emotions by providing an integrated, evidence-based strategy that promotes balanced living.
A child’s development can be adversely impacted by excessive time spent on screens, including challenges with emotional regulation, academic performance, social interaction, physical health, and family relationships. Some common signs of too much screen time include:
- Withdrawal from offline activities
- Sleep problems
- Poor academic performance
- Irritability, headaches or eye strain.
At Stanford Medical Center, through the GMDE program, we can help your child return to a healthy balance with technology and develop a positive relationship with screens.
