The Social Development Council and its partners are pleased to announce a comprehensive workshop designed to educate parents on the potential risks associated with social media. The workshop will focus on equipping parents with the knowledge and tools to recognize signs of danger, particularly concerning human trafficking, internet child exploitation, and issues related to healthy relationships.

In an era where technology is an integral part of our daily lives, children and teenagers are increasingly exposed to the potential dangers lurking in the digital realm. The workshop aims to empower parents with the information they need to navigate these challenges, fostering a safe and supportive environment for their children.
