📢 Recently Launched: The Parents’ Network

The Parents’ Network (TPN) is a new global community for parents and caregivers impacted by online harm.

This groundbreaking initiative from the Archewell Foundation, with crucial support from our parent organization, The Center for Applied Research Solutions (CARS), works to unite and uplift parents and caregivers, and to systematically change the social media platforms and devices that create a harmful environment for young people around the world. They won’t stop fighting for change until social media companies make their platforms safer by design, because one child lost is already too many.

CARS is proud to be a key partner in this vital work, providing programming design expertise, facilitation, resourcing, and fostering parents’ peer support and leadership in their bereavement, trauma recovery, and life after loss.
