The Tech-Wise Family Conference is committed to empowering parents by providing resources and solutions for navigating the world of smartphones and technology.

Mental health and medical professionals, featuring Dr. Britt McCarty, Dr. Willie Greer, Ms. Kimberly Rush, and Ms. Jeanette Howell, will provide information on emerging studies and trends on child development, as well as personal experiences from the Meridian community.

Law enforcement experts, Mr. Brad Edmonson from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations and Mr. Tanner Felton from ECCC, will discuss the dangers of minors on social media sites, from sextortion to suicide.

The goal of this conference is to ignite a coalition of like-minded parents who see screen-addicted kids all around us, and want something better for children and our community.
