PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN: KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING ONLINE

Our children are growing up in a world where a phone can connect them to virtually anyone, anywhere.

Many apps allow users to communicate with strangers, share photos and videos, livestream, share their location, or have conversations that can move beyond parental supervision. Some can even hide content or allow messages to disappear.
As parents and caregivers, awareness is one of our best tools for protecting our children.

The attached guide highlights 23 apps and platforms parents should be familiar with, along with potential safety concerns to be aware of.

This isn't about assuming every child who uses these apps is doing something wrong. It's about awareness, communication, and staying involved.

Know what apps are on your child's phone. Know who they're communicating with. Talk to them about online safety.
Technology is constantly changing. Our responsibility to protect our children doesn't.

PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN STARTS WITH AWARENESS.

Talk to your child. Monitor their apps. Protect their future.

September 10th is World Su***de Prevention Day. This year’s theme is “Changing the Narrative on Su***de: Start the Conversation,” challenging the harmful myths about su***de and the stigmas surrounding it. The goal is to create environments where people feel safe to speak up and seek help.

If you or someone you know needs emotional support, please call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
