Now, more than ever, understanding the experiences of those different than us is a critical life skill. How can you talk with your kids about diversity, equity, and implicit bias? What's the best way to open a dialog with your child or teen? Join development expert Donald E. Grant, Jr., PsyD, for a timely conversation on race and inclusion. Information here

Digital Addiction: A family guide on prevention, signs and treatment. High levels of digital media use by children and adolescents are of concern to parents and caregivers for good reason:  a third of teens report ¹ “almost constant” daily use of social media platforms alone, and nearly half of adolescents ages 11-12 who own mobile phones report losing track of how much they are using these devices. Fact sheet on Digital Addictions attached here
