On average, children between the ages of 8 and 12 in the U.S. spend up to six hours a day on screens. For teens, that number jumps to upwards of nine hours. Excessive use of digital devices — and the content they are engaging with — can have harmful effects on a young person’s well-being. Higher daily screen time is associated with increased symptoms of anxiety and depression.
It’s not just adolescents and teens who are at risk. Too much screen time can negatively impact the development of young children, affecting their physical and mental health and social-emotional well-being.
How can parents and caregivers help young people thrive in an online world? The key is understanding the risks and establishing healthy digital habits from the start.
On Thursday, July 31, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. ET, join Culture Reframed for an eye-opening conversation with digital wellness experts, Julia Storm and Adrienne Principe. Moderated by Dr. Mandy Sanchez, the free webinar will highlight the role of screens on the social and emotional well-being of young people. Our guests will provide mindful, intentional guidance and strategies for parents and caregivers to help kids make healthy digital choices that keep them safe and balanced in their relationships with the online world.
Attendees will walk away with actionable insights for promoting digital wellness in young people, with:
- A clear understanding of the impact of screens and tech on youth
- Advice on how to approach digital wellness with youth by being “smart, not scared”
- How to keep kids safe online, including how to respond if they’ve been exposed to pornography
- Best practices for keeping tech in check and improving kids’ media mindfulness, including tips for summer screentime
- Opportunities to empower communities to create a culture of change and achieve digital media wellness
A recording of the conversation will be shared with all registrants following the live event.

Preventing Sexual Assault with Sex Education
This free live webinar took place on April 10, 2025.
Sexual assault, defined as any sexual activity that occurs without consent, is tragically widespread. It affects people of all sexual orientations and ages. Nearly one in four U.S. adults experienced sexual assault or harassment in the past year. One in five girls and one in 20 boys is a victim of child sexual abuse.
This crisis is driven by various factors, including pervasive and easy access to degrading, misogynistic, and violent online pornography.
Sexual assault is preventable. One key step in prevention is porn-critical sex education. This type of comprehensive education addresses the root causes and empowers individuals to recognize and prevent sexual violence.
On Thursday, April 10, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. ET, join Culture Reframed’s Dr. Mandy Sanchez and sex education experts Amy Lang and Kerri Isham for a free webinar on sexual assault prevention and how you can help.
The conversation will explore:
- Why sexual health education must be taught early and proactively, not reactively
- What children need to know and when
- How to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy sexual behaviors
- Why and how to include neurodivergent children in the conversation
Anyone interested in sexual assault prevention — especially parents, caregivers, and educators of young children — is encouraged to attend.
