Learn how to better serve families that struggle with screen time and social media boundaries and get a better understanding of the layers of technology that can help them.
Are you a therapist, teacher, youth leader, or childcare provider working with parents and youth that are struggling with devices, internet content, and time limits?
Are they struggling with
device dependency or navigating technology boundaries with their children and the family is experiencing trauma-based responses because of what they have been exposed to while online?
Are you looking for a better understanding of why parents are struggling to keep the boundaries and have a better understanding of what’s really going on behind the screens?
If you answered "YES" to any of those questions, then STAY WITH ME because not only was I a parent similar to the ones you work with, I am a tech mom who knows how to teach you what you need to know so that you can help families become more structured with technology.
& Social Technology Strategies
Families that work together to set up social and emotional support systems, enroll in social technology training, and implement the right technology strategies will improve their online experience and will encourage open family communication.
This interactive group zoom or in-person workshop is designed to help you understand the silent epidemic behind the screens that is impacting families. There is a growing number of youths that are being exposed to adult content at an alarming rate and parents are uninformed, ill-equipped to manage it, overwhelmed by it, or believe they have the right safeguards in place. I have been serving families by helping them navigate screen time boundaries for over a year. My findings and results of my work will help you understand screen time issues and why families are struggling in silence.
You will leave this workshop inform on the layers of complexity parents are navigating with technology when it comes to setting age-appropriate boundaries and how you can help them.
This workshop will provide you a plan on how to help the families you serve set age-appropriate technology boundaries and feel confident in setting screen time limits.
Awareness is the #1 tool that can shift the impact that screen time is having on our youth, family, and community.

0:13 Profound impact of screens
It's really impossible not to be mobilized to do something. The problem is it's hard. You have to set boundaries and limits with your kids, and the people that really understand this field set very stringent limits with their children, I get it, that's hard and Gena knows it's hard.

When you look at the data of the profound uptick in sexting and sex trafficking and exposure to pornography, this is all the result of kids having access to screens.
