The program is the kick-off to a year-long community discussion about this topic with several opportunities for parents, caregivers educators and youth to learn more and as well as develop strategies for using media in a healthy way. The forum and ongoing programs are being planned and developed by volunteers from the Lexington community and the League of Women Voters.
