Tracy Dr. Bennett is a screen safety expert who teaches us how to deeply reconnect with our lives and those we love. Preventing digital injury instead of just treating it. She is founder and CEO of Get Kids Internet Safe (GKIS) and author of Screen Time in the Mean Time: A Parenting Guide to Get Kids and Teens Internet Safe. In her work as a clinical psychologist over 25 years, she sees the impacts of digital injury and how to treat and prevent it. After being distracted by the loss of her parents, she needed answers for her own kids; shame0free, actionable strategies that work. They weren't out there; so she committed to the GKIS mission. Her research and teaching as adjunct faculty at CSUCI complement her feet-on-the-ground practical skill set.
