Healthy Technology Community Leadership Program
COMING SOON…
Healthy Technology Community Leadership Program - Technology is negatively influencing our brains, our mental health, and our social relationships. This is clear from both personal experiences and scientific studies. Understanding the influences of social media, gaming, gamification, AI, and all sorts of technologies that exist through use of our devices is the first step toward making healthy technology choices and then developing healthy habits. However, doing this alone is virtually impossible. We need a societal shift. The goal of this program is to create that societal shift and aggregate individual efforts by developing leaders who will (and already do) pave the way within their local communities, with the support of this mega community.
