In collaboration with Healthy Petaluma, we are pleased to offer this in-person event for parents, caregivers and educators of middle school students in Petaluma:

Social Media - what is it and how to reel it in.

(Recommends ways to reel in social media use like Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok)

Explore the latest research on how social media is impacting today’s youth, including effects on mental health, self-esteem, and development. We’ll take a closer look at popular platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Discord—what to know if your child is already using them, key risks to watch for, and how to have ongoing, meaningful conversations and check-ins. Parents will leave with practical strategies to reel in social media use, set healthier boundaries, and reduce potential harm. We'll also discuss how parents can work together to ease peer pressure and create supportive norms around healthy tech use.
