Join Kansas City-based nonprofit START and the Church of the Resurrection for the (first ever!) Screen Sanity Summit, a unique nationwide event that will bring parents together to discuss one of today’s most pressing topics—digital health. The three-part series features exclusive content from START’s Screen Sanity Group Study, including topics that cover every age and stage of digital parenthood.

Whether you attend in-person (Leawood location only) or virtually, you can expect to hear from experts in the digital field, have rich conversations with parents like you, reflect on the role technology plays in your life and leave with realistic tools for improving your family’s digital health. While content is designed for adults, the Screen Sanity Summit will provide practical ways to talk to your kids about everything from smartphones to social media. Founded in 2018, START is focused on building a world where kids are captivated by life, not screens. The organization's tips, tools and trainings have helped parents across the globe in creating screen-life balance.

Families, engage in this survey about your digital health and then join us for Screen Sanity Summit to help your family grow in their life/screen balance together!
