Digital Citizen Academy, which offers online curriculum about internet safety and education for students, parents and educators through its resources, tools and trainings, has launched a specialized Home Program to support the entire family throughout the year.
The newly launched Home Program helps families raise responsible digital citizens and arms parents with access to an expert that not only worked with the FBI as a visiting scholar but who has dedicated her career to this field by using both her legal and clinical degrees to create specific trainings for families to protect children from the dangers of technology.
Digital Citizen Academy's research-based education, prevention and diversion programs are professionally designed to inform, protect and support young children through a cognitive behavioral trauma informed approach to ensure optimal success. Programs are designed with age appropriate content and provide trackable and measurable data for school districts and organizations.
"We've seen such incredible results from schools across the state of Arizona, as well as throughout the United States, and after continued requests, we decided to offer this same level of care for families at home." Says Founder of Digital Citizen Academy, Dr. Lisa Strohman, JD, PhD.
