Psyched to Practice

In our latest Psyched to Practice podcast episode, Jess Stewart joins hosts Paul Wagner and Ray Christner for an essential conversation on managing media and device use for children and adolescents. As a seasoned adolescent psychologist, Jess explores the complexities of media’s impact on young minds, from social connection to emotional regulation and the effects of instant gratification. She and the hosts share insights on the SCOPE model—a framework for understanding individual media use through social, cognitive, behavioral, physiological, and emotional lenses. Jess also introduces the GAMES model, a skills-based approach to helping young people set healthy media goals, build self-awareness, and manage screen time effectively. Whether you’re a parent, clinician, or educator, this episode offers valuable guidance on navigating technology’s role in youth development and promoting a balanced approach to digital engagement. Tune in now for practical insights on healthy media use in this week’s Masters in Practice episode: Ween from the Screen w/ Dr. Jess Stewart
