Details:
Join us for a FREE workshop about Social Media and Internet Safety to gain better insight into the technology and applications your children may use.

With the constant surge of new information, programs, and apps, the world is a click or text away. But with new advances come new dangers and concerns. Parents need to be aware of the technology their children use and the trouble that can follow if safety rules are not in place.  Most apps can be used in fun, positive ways – but not all programs are appropriate for all ages.  This presentation will show parents the positives and potential pitfalls of today’s most popular programs.

This presentation is for PARENTS ONLY.
