Support Student Mental Health in the Digital Age

Governor Youngkin recently signed Executive Order 33 to set guidelines for restricted student phone use in Virginia classrooms. Ultimately, the Order intends to:

Improve student mental health
Reduce classroom distractions
Enhance student focus and learning

At Wayfinder, we recognize that limiting the use of addictive devices is a start, but helping students learn healthy and safe behaviors regarding social media and phone use is the key to long-term success.
