The goal of the Baltimore County event is to help families navigate social media together and build healthy digital habits.

Organizers say it is not only about parents guiding their kids on safety but also learning from them, such as how to identify misinformation.

"The most empowering way to make the decisions is when you bring both halves together to talk about their experiences, but then also kind of create those those guidelines for their households together," an organizer said.

They hope families leave feeling more informed and better equipped to navigate social media together at home.
