Community Toolkit

Keeping children and youth safe and healthy online needs a whole-of-society approach that includes families, educators, health professionals, and decision-makers, among others. This toolkit was designed to foster involvement in this effort. 

Use the resources here for community engagement, education, and policy advocacy. We’ve included tools to help you educate others on the impact of screens on health and development, practical tips and strategies to effect change, and resources to connect with others working in this area.

Build on the momentum! 

With the introduction of the Safe Social Media Act, write to your Member of Parliament urging them to prioritize the passage of comprehensive, child-focused online safety legislation. Use our email template to make it easy.
