A virtual workshop for parents and caregivers to come together in an honest, judgment-free, and hopefully fun conversation about family life with technology.
About This Workshop
Screens are everywhere — and so is the guilt, confusion, and unsolicited advice that comes with raising kids in a digital world.
Homelife: Unplugged is a 90-minute virtual workshop designed to cut through the noise and create space for real talk. This isn’t a lecture or a list of rules. It’s a chance for parents and caregivers to come together, share what’s actually happening at home, and explore what a healthier relationship with technology could look like for their families.
Led by two facilitators who bring professional expertise and personal experience, this workshop blends evidence-informed guidance with humor, honesty, and heart.
What to Expect
A warm, welcoming space — no judgment, no perfection required
Practical, strengths-based strategies for managing screens at home
A chance to hear from other families navigating the same challenges
Facilitator-led discussion grounded in health education and real-world parenting
A few laughs along the way (because let’s be honest, we all need them)
