Co-Creation of a Digital Toolkit for Parents with Engaged Detroit and National Parents Union
Co-Creation of a Digital Toolkit for Parents with Engaged Detroit and National Parents Union
Together with community partners and parents, we have supported the creation of the Digital Guardians Toolkit, made by parents for parents, to know the risks and benefits of social media and how to manage it with kids and teens. The toolkit is intended to be used by parents to facilitate supportive conversations with their community, share information, and learn ways to talk about this tricky topic with youth, set boundaries that work for families, and identify red flags.
