Description

In this special episode, we share audio from a virtual panel discussion hosted by Thrive Forward Therapy, “Protecting Youth in the Digital Age.”

How can parents keep their kids safe online? It’s one of the most urgent questions families face today. With nearly 70% of parents saying parenting is harder now than it was 20 years ago—largely due to technology and social media—this conversation couldn’t be more timely.

Join Melanie Hempe, RN, BSN, founder of ScreenStrong, Homeland Security Special Agent Dennis Fetting, and Jennifer Wilmoth, LMFT, founder of Thrive Forward Therapy, as they unpack the real risks kids face online and offer practical tools for families and educators. From digital safety and social media pressures to emotional health and prevention strategies, this powerful discussion equips parents to take confident, informed steps toward protecting and guiding their children in today’s tech-driven world.
