At Facebook, we are committed to help build safe, healthy and supportive digital communities. In order to do this, we need to think about the skills and support that people need to build healthy relationships, stay safe, find greater wellbeing, build resilience, lead with empathy, communicate across diverse cultures, respect other perspectives, think critically about how they contribute to society and work together to make positive progress in communities around the world, online and off.

That’s why we have collaborated with experts to develop ‘Get Digital’—a new program that provides research-informed lessons, tips and resources that will help parents, schools and young people develop the skills they need to become wise, competent and responsible digital citizens who creatively, compassionately and safely use, control and build technology to improve individual and community prosperity, and wellbeing.
