About this Event

Screenagers


Attendees can choose to view the original Screenagers (suitable for Grades 6 + ) or the Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition (suitable for K-5). A group discussion will follow the screenings. Snacks will be provided. Hope to see you there!

Are you watching young people immersed in their screens — scrolling through social media, playing video games, and losing focus with ever-decreasing attention spans? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston faced this challenge with her own kids and screens. She questioned how this was affecting family dynamics, education, and the mental well-being of young people.
Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age takes a deeply personal and relatable approach. Delaney opens the doors to her own family life and meets with others to explore the messy struggles over social media, video games, academics, and internet addiction.
Through poignant and unexpectedly humorous stories, paired with surprising insights from leading experts, Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age reveals how screens are shaping kids’ development. Most importantly, it offers actionable solutions to help adults empower kids to navigate the digital age and find balance.

Free community event hosted by Coast Community Church of the Nazarene. Optional donations will be accepted at the event.
