Train with Dr. Tracy Bennett
Dr. Bennett has a PhD in
Clinical Psychology and is a
world-recognized Screen Safety Expert. She’s treated thousands of families just like yours for over 30 years.
She also has three kids of her own!
With 20 years of teaching the latest psychological research about
parenting, clinical psychology, and addiction at CSUCI, her techniques are sensible,
parent-tested, and science-based.
Screen Safety Expertise is Required
Kids spend an average of 10 hours a day on screen
73% of parents feel guilty about their child's screen use
Kids are hypersensitive to social feedback & lack impulse control - making them highly susceptible to the dangers of screen time
Dr. Tracy Bennett, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, founded GetKidsInternetSafe in 2010 because she was alarmed by how many kids in her practice were suffering from serious digital injury due to social media and the internet. “I was seeing middle schoolers addicted to pornography, working with the FBI to get a 12-year-old client to stop contacting and planning to meet a 32-year-old pedophile, and watching depression and anxiety skyrocket due to cyberbullying and compare and despair. It was terrifying! And back then, parents were unaware of the risks. We are finally becoming more informed due to experts raising the alarm, but we haven’t made enough progress protecting our kids.”
What does protection look like? Most parents agree that kids shouldn’t be on social media until they are at least age 16 (including Australia which has passed legislation to that effect). But realistically, most tweens and teens are begging for it or on it already (92% by age 13). They love the opportunities social media offers like making new friends, deepening existing friendships, and for exploration and discovery. Without it, they report feeling socially excluded, isolated, and lonely. What is a parent to do?
“One thing we can’t do is pretend there are no risks inherent in the use of social media. Burying our heads in the sand because there are no simple solutions is the WORST thing we can do. Yet many of us do it, and then our kids become disconnected from us, our worst nightmare! To help prevent the family disconnect and digital injuries I was seeing in my office (and fearing in my own home), I committed to the GKIS mission. Sound, sensible prevention starts with learning factual, science-backed information and the skills necessary for smart screen and social media use.”
After writing her book, Screen Time in the Mean Time, and creating easy-to-use, accessible GKIS parenting and tween/teen courses, she launched the Screen Safety Certification Course. “We have reached a point of screen safety awareness now that parents are begging for help. They need action-oriented tools that work. By teaching kids good coping skills on the front end, families avoid costly psychotherapy sessions on the back end. Not only do kids accept screen safety ideas better from trusted counselors than their parents, but the course also launches critical family conversations about safety. The American Psychological Association and other experts agree that social media readiness is essential to protect child mental health. Be their go-to expert by getting Screen Safety Certified!

FAQ'S
How do I know if this screen safety certification training is for me?
If you work with youth or families you know they are online A LOT. Any time online exposes them to risk, even with the best parental controls! Parents and kids don’t know all of the risks because new ones are surfacing every day. To help with screen safety, experts need specialized training. With the help of her interns, Dr. Bennett has been studying the risks of digital injuries since the internet became “a thing.”
Not only will you learn about the risks and benefits of online use, but once you are GKIS Screen Safety Certified, you’ll be able to help your families create a customized plan for better safety – complete with the best psychological wellness tools that Dr. B teaches in her practice at $500/hr.
Not only will they be better informed, but with your coaching they will have the opportunity to build the complex problem-solving and psychological resilience necessary to thrive in today’s world.
A GetKidsInternetSafe Screen Safety Certification demonstrates you have the advanced training and expertise to better reach the families that need you and to help them with what they are asking for.

The GKIS Screen Safety Certification Training Course is developed for paraprofessionals and professionals who work with youth or families with school-aged children and teens (6 – 17 yo). It covers topics that you likely won’t find free or in school programs. Dr B works with kids, teens, and families, so she has a lot of training and experience knowing what is appropriate for them to know. Feel free to email Dr. Bennett with questions.

Can you tell me more about the training?
Dr. B believes that learning and appropriately applying prevention strategies will decrease the chance your families will end up in a psychologist’s office for treatment due to digital injury. One can’t unsee what has already been seen. By advertising that you are GetKidsInternetSafe Certified, your youth and families will know to come to you for help, recognizing that they are not alone in facing risk online.
Don’t wait until after your families run into real, damaging trouble. Prevent digital injury, teach psychological wellness from an expert-informed framework, and help your families let go of the parenting guilt!
