There has never been a time in history where society has been more virtual and forced to rely so heavily on screens for human connection and interaction. As parents, it can be hard to walk the thin and blurred line between technology as an outlet for connection and entertainment, and a dangerous predator that negatively affects our children’s physical, social, and emotional well-being.
In light of this, No Heart Left Behind invites you to join us for an evening of honest discussion about the alarming realities of technology, social media, and children. This event will feature a panel of professionals who have personally experienced in their various fields of work the effects of social media and technology on children. You will leave with tools, resources, and best practices that can help you guide your children of all ages through the challenges that social media and technology present.
