Healthy minds in a connected world

How digital spaces are shaping mental wellbeing in Cheshire East

Digital environments are now a routine part of everyday life. For children and young people in particular. Online spaces shape how they communicate, learn, form relationships and understand themselves and others. Despite this, digital environments are rarely recognised or addressed as determinants of health and wellbeing. This year’s Director of Public Health Annual Report focuses on this gap, exploring digital environments as an emerging and increasingly influential public health issue.
