“Social media has benefited my life and my business in many ways, however it has also caused many issues for me and my friends. I am fortunate that social media did not exist in its current form when I was young, therefore I am incredibly glad that a platform like DiGii is available for young people today and eventually my daughters. Learning first-hand how to use social media is crucial when supporting young people’s mental health and wellbeing.”– Ashlee Harrison
