I recently checked out TikTok more deeply as my 11-year-old daughter is on there now. I’d been researching how it is used and by whom, and in doing so I happened on an article about TikTok and mental health.
I was surprised to learn that there is a fair amount of support and stigma busting happening on this platform. Below are just a few examples.
It was also nice to discover that TikTok has a social change campaign platform called TicTok for Good.
