Social Media & Screen Time

"The mental health crisis among young people is an emergency — and social media has emerged as an important contributor." - NYT, Vivek H. Murthy, US Surgeon General June 17, 2024. Learn ways to address screen time and social media to protect your child.

“There is no seatbelt for parents to click, no helmet to snap in place, no assurance that trusted experts have investigated and ensured that these platforms are safe for our kids. There are just parents and their children, trying to figure it out on their own, pitted against some of the best product engineers and most well-resourced companies in the world.” Dr. Vivek Murthy, Surgeon General, June 2024

In light of the Surgeon General’s report in 2023 and the recent call to action, parents are increasingly concerned about their kids’ social media use. But many parents don’t know what to do or where to look for support.
