Register for this one-hour webinar. 

(A recording will be available under the CALL Academy People Connect Institute category one week after delivery)

Join Dr. Heitner to learn how to help parents and caregivers who are dealing with more issues related to kids' public sharing, privacy and reputation. What does it mean to be "famous" these days? How can we prepare all young people for the realities of having a searchable digital reputation? What can we do when explicit or hateful images and videos circulate in our communities on social media?

This program will help libraries support patrons to mentor young people via character-based conversations and to be proactive rather than reactive.

Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World will be out with Penguin Random House in September, 2023.  Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN Opinion, and Fast Company, among others. Dr. Heitner earned a Ph.D. in media/technology and society from Northwestern University and has taught at DePaul University, Lake Forest College, and Northwestern.
