HERE’S HOW THE CREATORS DESCRIBE THIS INFOGRAPHIC:

Developed from the paper A Theoretical Framework for Integrating AI and Mental Health Literacies to Enhance Youth Well-Being and Education, by J. Laffier, A. Rehman, and M. Westley, presented at the 19th International Technology, Education and Development Conference in March 2025.

Youth are growing up in a world where mental health challenges are common and digital technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), are a part of everyday life. While AI tools can support learning, creativity, and even aspects of wellbeing, they also introduce risks, such as misinformation, privacy concerns, and an over-reliance on technology. To navigate these complexities, young people need a combination of mental health literacy and AI literacy to make informed, safe, and healthy decisions.
