In Wednesday's "Conversation Connecticut," News 12's Rebecca Surran welcomes Chris Malanga, a licensed psychotherapist and certified professional coach. Malanga discusses how parents can help children deal with disturbing news and images they see on social media.

He said anxiety rates among children, adolescents and even adults are on the rise and thinks the amount of time we spend on social media is a major factor. Malanga said parents should initiate conversations with children about scary social media they see online.
