Description:
Passport 2 Social Media (P2SM) is Rhode Island’s leader in empowering parents and caregivers to stop digital abuse. P2SM believes parents have the power to take control of digital spaces and encourage teens to choose healthy relationships online. However, social media is an unfamiliar territory to many parents who feel unprepared to protect their teens from digital abuse. In P2SM workshops participants learn how to access, navigate, and manage social media and are empowered to protect teens from digital abuse.
