摘要：Exploratory study aiming to analyse themes – addressed in videos produced by Brazilian Youtubers – focusing on mental health. The ten most-viewed channels aimed at teen audience on the video platform YouTube from March 19, 2019 to April 8, 2019 created and presented by the so-called Youtubers were searched out. After selecting and analysing, the following categories were obtained: technological culture, family relationships and sexuality. These videos have a significant number of users and deal with topics of interest to the young audience, nevertheless they have no scientific basis concerning the possible consequences of their contents for the mental health of their public. It was concluded that it is necessary parents and young people become involved with discussions on digital education, in order to have aware of the possible risks produced by some contents and to dialogue about the conscious and healthy use of technology.
