Technological devices are designed to connect us with others, but they are also causing us to feel isolated and alone.<\/p>\n<p>The percentage of teens with smartphones has jumped to 89%, while studies show that their psychological well-being decreases dramatically the more time they spend on screens. As a result, anxiety is on the rise, especially among kids and teens, as they feel the need to be \u201cplugged in\u201d at all times.<\/p>\n<p>At BGC, we know that building relationships is an important life skill. And at our Clubs, kids spend time away from smartphones and computers every single day\u2014playing together, learning together, and being mentored by caring adults.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unplugtoconnect.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unplugtoconnect.ca<\/a> to learn more and find all the resources you need to help us spread the word.
