Let’s Talk.
This e-presentation focuses on the benefits, risks and impact of social media on children and youth. Youth Diversion’s Executive Director, Joanna Conrad, explores social media and its correlation to pornography, sexting, cyberbullying, human trafficking and other risks. Examining digital influences, digital concerns, and what it means to set a digital culture in the home, the e-presentation explores risks and the overarching importance of parents having open and honest conversations with their kids about digital safety.
