We have a mental health crisis in America. We need to rein in Big Tech and improve online privacy. It’s not all the fault of social media – but as a mother of 4, April knows all-too-well the impact it can have on our children. When she built the Washington office of Common-Sense Media, April developed the K-12 curriculum on digital citizenship and successfully changed the trajectory of the debate on issues related to children’s mental health, tech, privacy issues and the digital divide. April believes privacy laws need to be strengthened, protections for our kids need to continue to improve so that their health and well-being is not impacted, and that our entire mental health system needs to be updated, so those who need care get it.
