Screen-Free Week is coming up very soon!

Screen-Free Week is Just 5 Weeks Away!
Taking time off from media allows us to experience closer connections with ourselves and with each other. Then we can find ways to prioritize those connections going forward. Screen-Free Week offers a powerful community of support for that process. - Mary Rothschild, Healthy Media Choices
