Being kind online starts with being kind to yourself. In this video, we share simple ways to protect your mental health on social media. This could be curating your feed, setting boundaries, and taking breaks when you need them.
You’ll also hear reminders about how our words impact others: think before you comment, lead with integrity, and choose to lift people up instead of tearing them down. There’s a real person with real feelings on the other side of the screen.
Take what you need, unfollow what you don’t, and make your online space a kinder one.
Learn more about how you can help create safer, more supportive communities by visiting our website: sandyhookpromise.org
Sandy Hook Promise (SHP) is a national, nonprofit organization based in Newtown, Connecticut. We are led by several family members whose loved ones were killed in the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, that claimed the lives of 20 first-graders and 6 educators. SHP is focused on preventing gun violence (and other forms of violence and victimization) BEFORE it happens by educating and mobilizing youth and adults on mental health and wellness programs that identify, intervene and help at-risk individuals. SHP is a moderate, above-the-politics organization that supports sensible non-policy and policy solutions that protect children and prevent gun violence. Our intent is to honor all victims of gun violence by turning our tragedy into a moment of transformation.
