It Takes a Village: Supporting Youth, Families, and Schools in a Digital Age

Join us for a meaningful and timely community conversation as we explore how the digital world is shaping the lives of today’s youth and what we can do about it.
Our kids are growing up in a world we never imagined—where friendships, play, and even self-worth are shaped by screens. Rates of anxiety, depression, and disconnection are rising, and it’s not by accident. The digital environment is designed to capture their attention and time, but together, we can help reclaim balance, connection, and well-being.
