Scroll free September: NHS endorses mental health campaign to get children to give up social media for one month After the success of Movember the NHS has endorsed a mental health campaign to get children to give up social media for 30 days.
Claire Murdoch, NHS England’s national director for mental health, said the campaign for people to sign up for a “Scroll-Free September” highlighted growing concerns that social media was contributing to a potential “epidemic” in mental ill health among young people.
The campaign is the brainchild of Britain’s oldest public health body, The Royal Society for Public Health, whose poll to launch it showed two thirds of people would consider giving up social media for the 30 days of September. It is the first time it has been tried anywhere in the world. The Daily Telegraph
