Beyond the Socials is a free online education and support program for parents and carers. Offered by Caraniche, it helps families navigate social media changes, manage screen time, and support youth mental health and wellbeing.

With the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act 2024, young people under 16 face new restrictions on social media platforms. These changes can cause digital stress, frustration, or withdrawal. Caraniche’s Beyond the Screen program provides expert guidance and practical strategies to help families adapt confidently.

The Beyond the Screen program is ideal for parents and carers of children aged 9–16, as well as schools and community organisations focused on youth wellbeing. Families experiencing screen time conflict, digital stress, or online overwhelm will benefit most.

Participants gain confidence in managing digital changes, learn healthy screen time routines, and receive a personalised Game Plan for social media adjustments. You’ll also have access to ongoing online parent support groups and optional one-on-one counselling.
