Zigazoo, a social media platform designed with Gen Alpha in mind, is focusing on Social Media Wellness Month activities and resources. Lining up with May’s Mental Health Awareness Month, the company is teaming up with celebrities like tennis star Serena Williams and NASCAR driver Erik Jones to encourage kids to learn how to navigate social media in a positive way.
According to a Pew Research study, 74% of teens feel that social media helps them stay connected to friends, 63% use it as an outlet for creative pursuits, and 34% use social media to learn more about mental health resources. Since Zigazoo acknowledges that the internet and social media are ingrained in the Gen Alpha experience, it aims to make a digital space where kids can explore and connect while building their social development and digital citizenship.
Additionally, Zigazoo will participate in a roundtable discussion called “Should Social Media Be Encouraged or Banned for Kids?” and provide resources like advice from Gen Alpha influencers and an expert-designed toolkit to help parents teach their kids internet safety. The company will also host giveaways throughout the month, with MESH-certified toys and books as prizes.
