Influenced was created for parents and teens by parents of teens.

It's full of practical education and action steps that will empower your family to participate in our online world while avoiding exploitation. The Influenced workshops are primarily intended for live audiences, and are delivered in a one-hour format to parents and teens (separate, but simultaneously).
