SIGN UP NOWTaking Back Control: Making Your Smartphone Work for You
In today’s world, smartphones are part of everyday life. They connect us, support us, and open up incredible opportunities. But they also bring challenges that many of us are only beginning to fully understand.
In this talk, Dr. Claire Conlon, Clinical Psychologist and founder of the Caterpillar Clinic, explores the growing impact of smartphone use on our mental health, particularly for young people. Drawing on both research and real clinical experience, Claire gently guides you through what is happening beneath the surface, from brain science to behaviour, and why so many families are feeling the effects.
This is not about fear or removing technology. It is about understanding it.
Through this session, you will begin to see how smartphones are designed to capture attention, how this can affect mood, sleep, and regulation, and most importantly, what you can do about it. The goal is simple. To help you feel more informed, more confident, and more in control.
Whether you are a parent trying to support your child, a teenager navigating your own phone use, or simply someone curious about the role smartphones play in everyday life, this talk offers practical, realistic guidance grounded in compassion and evidence.
Because the aim is not to remove the phone.
It is to make it work for you, not against you.
