Social Media Safety on how to protect our families from social media-related dangers. This presentation is intended for adults only.
The average child now spends about 4.8 hours a day on social media. During all of that time, they are exposed to dangers that they are not prepared to confront, including:
cyberbullying
social media addiction
depression
hate speech
sexual harassment
The Organization for Social Media Safety works every day to protect against these and other social media-related dangers. Come learn more about how to better prepare your children to avoid or safely respond to these threats.
Ed Peisner is the co-founder and National Director of Education for the Organization for Social Media Safety. He proudly travels the country teaching thousands of students and parents how best to stay safe while using social media.
