Mar 2025: We’re excited to share that Be Human(e) has launched a new initiative offering free educational presentations for schools on the impact of technology on youth mental health, inspired by the recent Netflix show Adolescence.
Rooted in our mission to promote emotionally intelligent technology use, these presentations are led by digital wellbeing experts and backed by our research collaborations with Harvard and the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. We aim to equip parents with the tools to recognize early emotional struggles, foster healthier tech habits at home, and support adolescent development in the digital age.
There is a timely urgency in addressing digital addiction and emotional dysregulation in youth, and we’re offering this resource at no cost to ensure accessibility. We invite any schools or districts interested in partnering on this initiative to reach out directly to us.
