A Canadian non-profit offering free, structured support for people and families harmed by social media and heavy online life — compulsive screen use, comparison culture, distress after posting or after deleting accounts, financial fallout, and difficulty leaving platforms. Peer-led and recovery-oriented, delivered virtually across Canada. Founded by Kayleigh Robertson.
Why I recommend it: Free, and it says so plainly: all services free, virtual, Canada-wide, currently accepting clients through an intake form. Two honest limits — it is Canada-only, and it is peer-led support grounded in lived experience and emerging research, not clinical treatment, so it sits alongside a doctor or therapist rather than replacing one. Worth knowing if the job hunt itself is what has you stuck online all day.
Psychologist and professor Jacqueline Nesi translates new research on technology, attention, and mental health into practical guidance for digital life.
Why I recommend it: A research-backed counterweight to hot takes about screens and AI. Good source material if you write or speak about technology and people.
