ReConnect Western MA is an alliance of parents, teachers and community members with a shared commitment to the wellbeing of children and teens. Through community building, education and collective action, we seek to change the norms around youth smartphone, social media, and technology use.

We support meaningful youth connection, by delaying smartphones and social media and enabling more unsupervised play and childhood independence. 

We advocate for bell-to-bell phone free school policies, and for a more intentional approach to the way technology is used at home and in school.
