Objectives

Digital addiction, which mostly affects young individuals, causes individuals to escape from the real world and take shelter in the virtual world due to their economic, psychological problems and physical deficiencies. This situation causes the deterioration of social relations and pacifies individuals. The fact that individuals' close circles do not have knowledge about social media and can't direct it consciously are the reasons that trigger digital addiction. The individual who is addicted to digital life loses the distinction between real and virtual and comes to the point of breaking away from social life. As can be seen, digital addiction, which is not defined with sharp lines, is described as a psychological problem that is frequently encountered today. Studies conducted around the world support this thesis. In this direction, it is necessary to gain awareness from the beginning. At this point, media, education and health institutions should act together and public awareness should be raised. It is possible to say that educational seminars and programs to be organized by local governments will also contribute significantly to the prevention of digital addiction. Digital addicts experience many bad habits, psychological disorders and loss of opportunities due to their addictions. Some of those; • The desire to be constantly online in digital environments. • Not being able to enjoy anything. • Dissatisfaction. •Fast consuming. • Desire to be present on digital platforms to solve the problems. • Unintentionally unable to control digital media times. • Feeling uneasiness and unhappiness of the individual in case of being away. • Do not lose career training opportunities. • It can be listed as showing yourself different from what you are and lying. In this context, the aims of our project are; To enable individuals to participate actively in their social lives, health, daily life, to gain healthy communication skills, to increase their self-confidence and self-confidence, and to benefit from the opportunities in front of them. With the awareness that the cornerstones of healthy societies will consist of healthy individuals, our main goal is to contribute to the formation of healthy societies.
