Welcome to Screenspire.
Screenspire is a digital wellness education platform that delivers gentle, research-informed digital wellness guides to teens and young adults so that they can use digital media to achieve well-being, social connection, career clarity, and purpose.
Our mission is to provide you with practical, research-backed strategies for daily media use habits that disrupt the anxieties of the digital age and help you to live a life that inspires you.
You deserve to feel encouraged, hopeful, and supported as you navigate the digital world (while managing the rest of your busy life). Here you’ll find research-backed digital wellness articles, down-to-earth digital wellness workshops, and entertaining multimedia content that will give you the clarity, peace, and assurance needed to get the most out of your screen time.
Why Digital Wellness?
Now more than ever before, we have the research to show that our media use habits impact our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. After experiencing the extreme highs and lows of being a chronic screen user, I devoted my career to creating an empowering youth media landscape and created Screenspire to provide busy teens and young adults with high-quality, research-informed, and accessible strategies for building healthy daily media use habits that support your mental health, goal-setting, healthy relationships, and coming of age. By doing so, I’ll unplug the anxieties that come from digital media use and inspire all of us to live fulfilling and purpose-driven lives online and offline.
