Today’s culture is one of distraction. Technology is everywhere and impacts how we relate to the people around us. This extensive technology brings negative influences on our lives. More and more people are fitting into the category of languishing rather than flourishing and thriving. An epidemic of loneliness and isolation is leading to an increase in suicide. Emotional
Intelligence (or EQ) is increasingly important in our digital society in the prevention of suicide.

Practicing digital wellness and cultivating Emotional Intelligence can bring about thriving and flourishing as God intended.
