As more social media platforms begin to focus more on wellness content, many influencers are following in their footsteps. In fact, many studies have shown that social media can have a very positive effect on our mental health, particularly during times of social isolation. Throughout the month of September, TikTok is showcasing a wealth of mental health resources as well as pairing with influencers who can teach their audiences how to take better care of their mental well-being. Netinfluencer has all the details on the latest TikTok Un-packs series.

What Is TikTok Un-Packs?

TikTok Un-Packs is the platform’s latest wellness series, aimed to encourage audiences to take better care of themselves and use social media as a positive tool. The series will last for four weeks, providing audiences with new content every week.

TikTok Un-packs also focuses on the power of community, using a wealth of resources and events to bring together experts from around the world. Alongside a selection of specialist content, the platform has also released a range of hashtags to help push this content further. 

This is not necessarily a novel idea for the platform as they have produced a plethora of wellness content in the past. TikTok has also built a wellness hub to collate a range of content for audiences to access whenever they like.

What Does the Series Aim To Achieve?

Aside from building a sense of community on the platform, it seems that TikTok is using this series to place underrated creators in the spotlight. These influencers are well recognized for operating in the mental health niche, a space where many creators enjoy sharing their personal recovery stories. As such, these influencers can inspire others to reach out during difficult times. 

In addition, September is also Suicide Awareness Month, a time when both social media platforms and corporations come together to educate others and reduce stigma. Thus, TikTok Un-Packs is also said to help those dealing with these issues. 

What Resources Are Provided?

TikTok Un-Packs has released a variety of tools to help users control their experience on social media.

Screen-Time Management: Data shows that users spend around 95-minutes on the app per day, signifying the platform’s high levels of engagement. Despite these positives, it is important that audiences know when is the best time to step away from their devices. Therefore, TikTok has unveiled a new set of screen-time tools to help audiences control their usage. Audiences will now be able to set time caps on their device, using a personal passcode generated within the Digital Wellbeing hub. 

Comment Filters: Located within a user’s privacy settings, comment filters allow audiences to eliminate certain words from their comment sections. This is meant to foster more positivity on the app and ensure that audiences do not come across language that is meant to cause offense or harm.
