Digital Wellness Day 2020
The aim of Digital Wellness Day is to empower individuals, communities, and organizations with research-based tools and strategies to flourish in a digital age. COVID-19 presents a time where so many of us are living, working, studying and socializing in a virtual world. Digital Wellness Day 2020 presents an opportunity to highlight how technology can help us feel together, rather than apart – and illuminate the connective power of technology to enhance human relationships.
Now is a great opportunity to pause, reflect, and ask yourself if you’re getting the most out of your digital devices. Do you feel like you are flourishing in your digital life? Take the free digital wellness checkup now to find out!

Georgie Powell
Aside from being a busy mom, Georgie Powell is CEO of Sentient Digital, which provides consulting and support to organizations and researchers who are interested in the field of digital wellness. Georgie previously worked at YouTube before becoming conscious of her own technology use which inspired a move into the fast-growing and very relevant area of digital wellbeing.
To help families learn more about the effect of technology on their health and happiness, we recently released our first Digital Wellbeing Study – a data-based look at this important topic presented in an attractive, interesting way that we hope parents will find useful and easy to apply to their lives today.
