Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored how the FOCUS Act is sparking a new era for schools and families. From policy to practice, the momentum is growing—and communities are beginning to see the benefits of healthier, more intentional technology use.
A Quick Recap of the Journey
The Law: The FOCUS Act laid the foundation by setting clear boundaries for healthier learning environments.
Digital Detox Week: Schools and families turned policy into practice with daily challenges and screen-free activities.
Facilitator Training: Digital Mental Health (DMH) Facilitators stepped forward to guide students, families, and educators.
Early Wins: Teachers are reporting fewer distractions, more engagement, and even academic growth.
Together, these steps highlight something important: this movement is bigger than a law—it’s about reshaping culture.
Beyond Policy: A Movement of Balance
Real change happens when everyone—students, teachers, parents, and community leaders—works together. Building tech-healthy communities means shifting how we think about focus, connection, and well-being in every space we share.
Simple Steps You Can Take
At Home: Create tech-free zones at the dinner table or before bedtime.
At School: Encourage moments of mindfulness and movement between lessons.
In the Community: Host unplugged events, game nights, or outdoor gatherings.
Each small step makes a big difference when multiplied across families, schools, and neighborhoods.
