Turning Life On

By Keeping Tech in Check.

 

Unite.

I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot: Together we can do great things.
— Mother Teresa

Our communities bring together local parents, educators and professionals. Through these communities, we can support each other by sharing information, resources and our best tips that empower community members to embrace digital wellness. Together, we can inspire positive change.


Whether it’s your own journey or you’re looking to inspire others, taking action can help you feel more in control of your own technology use and your family’s, leading to a healthy and more intentional lifestyle.

Ambassadors for Change.

Partners in Change.

Partnership with Turning Life On is a two-way street. We collaborate by sharing resources, amplifying each other’s work, and expanding our reach into local communities—and beyond. When we join forces, real change happens. Our partners include professionals in mental health, education, medicine and beyond.

Supporters Make It Possible.

You care about the movement—even if you don’t have time to lead one. That’s more than enough. By signing up for event updates, blog posts, and simple ways to stay involved, you’re supporting a culture of change, one step at a time. Stay connected. Stay inspired.

Hopkinton Youth and Family Services is excited to partner with an organization that seeks to build community and stronger families! The impacts of smart phone technology on family life and youth development have become an issue of public health concern. Trends of increased social media use and exposure and increased depression/anxiety in youth appear to have synergy in recent scientific data. Fostering in person relationships, time in nature, and time growing skills through hobbies and interests, etc. is shown to promote mental health. We look forward to this initiative growing a culture of safe technology use and “turning life on”!
