The Foundation is on a mission to enable vulnerable children & youth to become inspired citizens.

We are focused on helping to reverse the rapid and continued decline in vulnerable children's mental health.*

Harmful tech use, in particular is having a negative impact on children's mental health from lower self-esteem, increased anxiety to higher stress levels  as well as decreased cognitive capacity, lack of outdoor play & exposure to nature, increased learning disabilities.   

Specifically, we....

1. Help protect vulnerable children & youth....

especially vulnerable girls, who are at risk of on-line sex trafficking, bullying and other negative effects of harmful tech use.

How? By helping fund existing, proven projects of other Canadian charities already working on this life-saving issue.  Parents, educators and mental health practitioners need all the help they can get.

2. We help build awareness about the negative effects of harmful tech use. 

Harmful tech use can cause exposure to sex traffickers, bullies and other negative influences.

Too much screen time contributes to the erosion of intellectual and creative brain power. Vulnerable youth in particular may not realize their full potential due to harmful tech use.

The Research:

Please see "The Ledger of Tech Harms" published by the Center for Humane Technology, www.humanetech.com.

Further, according to Western University, children's mental health decline started in 2020. Even post pandemic, only 27% of Canadian school-age children met the recommended recreational screen time of 2 hrs or less.  Children's screen time skyrocketed through the pandemic and tripled in 2020. Parents reported children on screens 13 hrs a day, almost every waking minute. Researchers expected to see a decrease in 2023, but parent surveys came back as consistently high.*
