Ween from the Screen w/ Dr. Jessica Stewart

Dr. Jessica Stewart discusses media and device use through the lens of practical intervention and psychological assessment. She shares the SCOPE model, a framework for understanding the complexities of media use across cognitive, emotional, social, and physiological dimensions. The conversation also introduces the GAMES model, a structured intervention approach aimed at fostering self-regulation and healthy technology habits in both adolescents and adults. Mental health professionals will gain actionable strategies to help clients navigate the digital world while mitigating negative impacts on mental health, academic performance, and social functioning. This episode provides an understanding of media use, moving beyond polarized views to equip clinicians with tools that promote balance and intentionality in digital engagement.
Course Objectives:
1. Explain the SCOPE model’s five dimensions—social, cognitive, operant (behavioral), physiological, and emotional—to assess the functional impact of media and device use on individual clients.
2. Differentiate between healthy and unhealthy patterns of MDU by evaluating its influence on cognitive processes, emotional well-being, and social interactions across diverse populations.
3. Formulate personalized, harm-reduction-oriented treatment plans that balance clients' technological engagement with their psychological and developmental needs.
