Santa Barbara County Launches "NoSo November" Campaign
The Santa Barbara County Department of Behavioral Wellness and the County Health Department are teaming up to launch "NoSo November", a community-wide challenge encouraging residents to take a break from social media during the month of November.
The NoSo (No Social Media) Campaign aims to raise awareness of the growing impacts of social media on mental and physical health and to inspire a healthier, more mindful relationship with technology!.
- Research has shown that excessive social media use can lead to increased stress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation.
- A recent study found that taking even a short break from social media — as little as one week — can significantly improve mood and overall wellbeing.
