BUILD: Social Media Ban – Parent Information Session

Parent Information Session: The Social Media Ban & Keeping Your Kids Safe Online

Social media and screen time are some of the biggest challenges families are facing today.

• A clear understanding of the social media ban: what it is, how it will be implemented, and what it means for the young people you support.

• Practical strategies for guiding young people through the social media ban.

• Ideas and tools for helping young people to foster healthy technology habits.
