SOCIAL MEDIA HARM

Jill Smith from Citizens Advice Bureau Far North (CAB)

The spreading of false or misleading information via social media presents a risk to our communities.

Its rapid spread can shape opinions and behaviours and reinforce pre-existing beliefs and amplify extreme views. This can lead to polarisation and division, cyberbullying and harassment, mental health impacts and a decline in local engagement.

Our Citizens Advice Bureau is here to help by providing access to reliable information that can help positively shape your decision making and lead to positive outcomes.

For more information, please give us a call on 09 407 9829 or 0800 367 222. Email us on farnorth@cab.org.nz or call in and see us at 6 Cobham Road, Procter Library Building, Kerikeri.

We are open Monday to Thursday 9.30 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. and Friday 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.
