Who are the We-Searchers, and What Do They Do?

We-Searchers™ is a team of community-based professionals who came together to find answers and provide strategies to parents and teens to manage, avoid, and overcome the risks related to smart phone  over-use.

Just like teens take Driver's Ed to prepare for their driver's licenses and the huge responsibility of operating a motor vehicle, we are in desperate need of some way to prepare teens for the enormous responsibility of safely and smartly using a smart phone.

The We-Searchers team is comprised of Parents, Therapists, Educators, Police, and Legislators who each bring to the table their unique perspectives and subject matter expertise to create a fun curriculum that will prepare teens and parents for the thrills of driving on the Information Superhighway.

Why Do Parents Want a Driver's Ed Course for Smart Phones?

The jury is in.  There is a direct connection between the increasing numbers of teens using smart phones and the increasing numbers of teens with clinically diagnosed anxiety and depression.  In spite of the connected-ness of the modern world, teens are reporting  increased levels of stress and isolation.  

WE-SEARCHERS have taken action.  We've gone to as many experts as we could find to collect the best strategies for parents and teens to get connected and stay connected... online and in real life.

Parents are really aware of some of the challenges today's teens are up against.  Social, academic, and other pressures are amplified by mobile technology.  With a smart phone, any one who is any age can have instant access to any information or entertainment.  Teens are experiencing an exponential boost in global awareness and connected-ness in some areas, but they are facing unparalleled fears, anxiety, and isolation in other areas.  This course will cover the following topics and provide strategies related to:

• Getting the Most out of Social Media
• Branding Themselves Authentically
• Staying Connected in Real Life
• Coping with Social Aggression
• Avoiding Scams and Cons
