Digital Addictions

The Digital Addictions course equips addiction‑focused professionals with a clear, evidence‑informed understanding of how excessive engagement with technology—such as gaming, social media, online gambling, and constant connectivity—can impact mental health, relationships, and overall functioning. 

Grounded in current research and emerging best practices, the course explores the neurobiological, psychological, and behavioral mechanisms that drive compulsive digital use, while also examining risk factors, assessment considerations, and ethical implications for practice. 

Participants gain practical strategies for prevention, early intervention, and client‑centred support, ensuring they are prepared to navigate this rapidly evolving area of addiction within diverse clinical and community settings.
