Youth mental health is in crisis
Time on screens is exposing young people to risks while replacing experiences that help them achieve their full potential.
SYNC empowers children and youth, families, schools and communities to collectively strengthen mental health. Together, we’re building communities where mindful use of digital media is the norm.
Supporting youth, nurturing connection. That’s SYNC.
Support Youth
In a digital-centric world, young people tell us they want better balance and relationships—online and off. SYNC brings a youth-centered lens to the task of helping children and youth, families, schools and communities make the changes needed to see young people thrive.
SUPPORT
Nurture Connection
We’re more “connected” than ever—yet still out of sync. Mindful use of digital technology is key to regaining authentic connection. By shifting local norms from continuous scrolling to intentional tech use, SYNC empowers children and youth, families, schools and communities to create connections that are healthy, lasting and rooted in belonging.
NURTURE
Focus on Society
SYNC is a whole community movement that focuses on the environments surrounding children and youth and where they spend their time. In addition to addressing individual behavior, SYNC encourages a collective community response to strengthen and build support, connection and norms that improve mental health and help young people thrive.
