If social media in 2020 has got you down, take heart: You’re not alone.

Social media-induced stress is real. And this year, it’s only gotten worse. COVID-19, combative politics, economic doldrums, widespread societal unrest – all have become flashpoints that ignite vitriol on social forums.

It may be tempting to terminate your accounts and tune out social altogether. But what if you need to be active on social media as part of your job? Also, if you did nix social, you’d miss out on all the good stuff that brought you there in the first place (yes, it’s still there).

So what to do? ASI Editorial staffers Christopher Ruvo and John Corrigan have a few ideas. In this podcast, they share easy-to-implement strategies that will help you protect your mental health on social media – and enable you to benefit from the positive things the platforms have to offer.
