Screen Sense

Overview

In today’s hyper-connected world, managing screen time can feel impossible. Smartphones, apps, games and endless notifications have become an inescapable part of modern life. For many, the result is not just wasted time but the biological, psychological and social consequences associated with problematic internet use such as heightened anxiety, low mood, reduced focus, weight gain, poorer sleep, reduced academic performance and less meaningful real-world connections.

This course is for adults and teenagers (16+) whose digital screen use may be affecting their mental or physical health, sleep, focus or relationships. It is aimed at anyone struggling to cut back on screen time, including gamers and heavy social media users.

Solution

The Screen Sense Pro Course is a transformative online course designed to help you regain control over your screen use and refocus on what truly matters. Delivered across six interelated tracks, it provides the knowledge, tools and support needed to develop healthier and more intentional digital habits.

Created by Neal Thompson, a Digital Psychology Specialist and former professional gamer known as “Mirage,” this course blends lived experience with academic expertise (MSc Health Psychology). Neal understands the pull of problematic digital use first-hand and how to change it. This course is designed to turn insight into practical action.
