Join us for a discussion on the impact of technology on our mental well-being and the crucial role of educators,and parents. 

**We can’t leave parents and guardians fending for themselves.** It’s challenging to keep up with technology, social media, and their effect on our children’s learning outcomes, mental health, and safety.

**Let’s face this together as a community!  [Register Here](https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_pWCI83L5Tc2d3gSsbYCMVg) Today.**

 

[Join us](https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_pWCI83L5Tc2d3gSsbYCMVg) for another informative **Courageous Conversation** about navigating **online safety** such ascyberbullying, dangerous trends, sexting, and privacy.

**We will address:**

- **Solutions** and **additional support** for parents and educators 
- How **new AI is affecting learning** and family dynamics.
- **How to use technology responsibly** and **safely** to preserve meaningful connections in person and online. 
- ** Strategies** and approaches to tackling **dangerous social media challenges** (i.e., the choking challenge, the Benadryl challenge)

Our discussion aims to **acknowledge both the risks and opportunities associated with technology** in our classrooms and daily lives. Let’s work together to ensure a safer use of technology and protect our families.

## The Creative Coping Toolkit

### LIKE

This program in our *Creative Coping Toolkit* explores the addictiveness of social media and the role and impact of technology in our lives. The film provides easy-to-implement ways to transform our behavior so we can create a healthy balance with our devices—and think about how best to engage thoughtfully and authentically when online.

### The Upstanders

This program in our *Creative Coping Toolkit* teaches about the power of connection and resilience to end bullying behavior, both online and in person. This film shows the importance of empathy, self-care, and reflection to transform attitudes and actions. It teaches how to become an ‘upstander’— someone who stands up for others in a kind and compassionate way.
