LIKE inspires self-regulation and shares how to hack the brain to create balance in our digital world.

The LIKE Creative Coping Toolkit (CCT) explores the impact of social media on our lives and the effects of technology on the brain and on learning. Understanding that virtual connection is a huge part of our socialization and can have many benefits, how do we use it to best inform, educate and inspire us to self-regulate, so we can enjoy a more balanced and fulfilled life?

Hopeful in tone, LIKE provides a dynamic learning opportunity for engagement by weaving in the stories and reflections of young people, their families and the perspectives of both brain scientists, mental health experts and tech creators, who explain how our online behavior is affected by algorithms, from being compelled to respond to notifications, to manipulating ourselves to gain more 'likes'. It introduces JOMO - the Joy Of Missing Out, along with simple tips for creating a healthier relationship with our devices. Subtitled into multiple languages, it has been licensed to communities throughout the world and is a powerful bridging and teaching tool.

The Impact of LIKE

"LIKE is truly an incredible film depicting the unsettling reality of technology addiction within teenagers. The filmmakers do a wonderful job bringing in different viewpoints, stories, and scientific data emphasizing the need to feel connected to others through a phone screen. I absolutely recommend LIKE to every student, parent, or educator as we battle this era of technology overconsumption- 10/10!"
Jenna Fondren

Safe School Institute Manager, Crime Stoppers of Houston

"LIKE tells the real story behind social media platforms: you, all of us are the product. It also tells the positive aspects of social media. Having a balanced perspective on how to navigate social media platforms is essential to all parents and educators raising and educating this generation."
Maria O Alvarez

VP, Common Sense Latino

"As someone who has spoken to thousands of students about social media and digital citizenship, I can confidently attest to the fact that the issues raised in 'LIKE' have not been overstated. The potential negative emotional and psychological effects of social media addiction and misuse are real - and can do real damage to a young person's overall mental wellness. 'LIKE' is an important resource for schools and families to understand what's at stake, and to take proactive steps to ensure that students maintain a healthy attitude towards their digital behavior."
