Young people today are forming relationships across social media, messaging apps, video games, and other online spaces. While these platforms can support connection, they can also introduce risks when unhealthy behaviors go unnoticed.

Developed by FOSI in collaboration with Eleven24, this resource helps parents, caregivers, and educators start conversations about digital safety in relationships.

The guide offers practical tips for discussing digital consent, boundaries, and recognizing signs of digital abuse, while also encouraging supportive and judgment-free conversations. By opening the door to these discussions, caring adults can help young people build healthier relationships and navigate their digital lives more safely.
