Introducing our new initiative, Homewood Connected

As a part of the Safe & Healthy Homewood Collaborative, our community of parents and advisors aims to empower families in Homewood with information and resources to help them make informed and developmentally appropriate decisions regarding technology for their families.

Parent and Committee Member Perspectives

"There is so much information out there now on technology safety, which is amazing, but it can also be daunting. It is so important to connect with like-minded parents that have children the same ages as yours, but also parents that have experienced this with their older children. They are great resources for real-world examples. This is why I am so excited about Homewood Connected-it gives us a community to share ideas and support one another."
