Kim Karr, co-founder of #iCANHELP is set to deliver a powerful presentation on social media to 4th-8th grade students at Linton Hall School in Bristow, Virginia on Wednesday, October 19, 2016. #iCANHELP is a non-profit corporation that educates on the proper use of social media, empowers students to deal with conflict, negativity, and harassment online, and instructs students and adults on how to maintain a positive digital footprint. The day will culminate with a parent event to address raising a child in a digital world. The parent workshop will be held from 6:30-7:30pm in the Linton Hall School Gym. Parents and their pre-teen or teen students from the community are invited to attend.
“We don’t usually think of it, but just like the way negativity can spread, people can be swayed or encouraged when the majority are doing ‘good’ online. Students just need to be shown how to respond to the negativity. We need to empower our future generation to take action against all the issues that are arising with technology,” says co-founder Kim Karr. “Through #iCANHELP students are learning that kindness is saving lives and it doesn’t have to be anything big- a simple smile or a nice post-it note on a locker might be all it takes.”
