American Academy of Pediatrics:

Navigating Social Media with Youth ECHO: Strategies for Families

Thank you for your interest in the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Navigating Social Media with Youth ECHO!


This ECHO opportunity is open to parents & caregivers who:

  • Want to learn more about the risks and benefits of social media and how it impacts youth well-being
  • Learn about resources and strategies that can aid in creating healthy digital habits for the whole family
  • Are interested in connecting with subject matter experts and parents nationwide


Project ECHO is like a big online classroom where people from different backgrounds and geographical locations come together and learn from each other (we call it 'all learn, all teach'). Each session will last an hour and will consist of a short presentation followed by a group discussion focused on real-life situations or questions that parents commonly have regarding youth social media use.


This 4-session program will be held monthly on the following Wednesdays at 10 am Central/ 11 pm Eastern:

  • Session 01: June 18, 2025
  • Session 02: July 16, 2025
  • Session 03: August 20, 2025
  • Session 04: September 17, 2025


We are accepting a limited number of applications for this ECHO program and will offer additional cohorts in the future. For questions, contact Kristin Conrad at kconrad@aap.org.
