In our <strong>Global Youth Resilience Index<\/strong>, we identified that excessive phone use harms resilience and well-being, while moderate use is linked to higher emotional insight. The correlation between excessive screen use and mental and physical ill-health has been demonstrated in numerous international studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Global Youth Resilience Index<\/strong>, Educatius surveyed over 4,000 teenagers from nine countries across four continents, querying them in their native languages. The Index examines the impact of social media use, the benefits of international exposure, gender differences in resilience, and the influence of activities on youth resilience, providing a nuanced understanding of the factors that bolster the well-being of today\u2019s teens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the respondents, <strong>62.5%<\/strong> spent up to 20 hours on social media in a typical week, while <strong>27%<\/strong> reported spending more than 20 hours per week. On average, females reported spending <strong>2.1 hours more<\/strong> per week on social media than males.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized mb-5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/smiling-girls-and-palm-trees-640x560px.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11848\" style=\"width:807px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/smiling-girls-and-palm-trees-640x560px.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/smiling-girls-and-palm-trees-640x560px-300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/smiling-girls-and-palm-trees-640x560px-24x21.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/smiling-girls-and-palm-trees-640x560px-36x32.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/smiling-girls-and-palm-trees-640x560px-48x42.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-thumbnail\"><a href=\"\/\/issuu.com\/educatiusgroup\/docs\/the_global_youth_resilience_index_by_educatius_pag?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Global-Youth-Resilience-Index-Cover-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Global Youth Resilience Index Cover\" class=\"wp-image-18975\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-educatius-edu-button container\"><a rel=\"noopener\" class=\"btn btn-lg btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/educatiusgroup\/docs\/the_global_youth_resilience_index_by_educatius_pag?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#009490\">&gt; Download the report!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-building-resilience-among-young-people\">Building resilience among young people<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Global Youth Resilience Index extends beyond the report. Educatius collaborates with experienced staff, partners, and teen mental health professionals to provide a comprehensive support system for international students studying high school programs abroad. This includes interactive resilience training for students, host families, natural parents, and staff, all designed with the students&#8217; well-being in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, challenges, or setbacks. It involves adapting positively to difficult circumstances, learning from experiences, and maintaining mental and emotional well-being. Resilient individuals can navigate life&#8217;s ups and downs with a sense of purpose, optimism, and perseverance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get engaged!
