The FOCUS Act set the stage for a healthier balance between learning and technology. But policies only create impact when communities put them into practice. That’s where PC Empowerment’s Digital Detox Week comes in—a hands-on initiative designed to help schools, families, and youth groups experience what life can look like when screens take a backseat and real connections come first.
What Is Digital Detox Week?
Digital Detox Week is a structured, week-long experience that encourages students and families to step away from unnecessary screen time and re-engage with the world around them. It’s not about abandoning technology altogether—it’s about creating mindful breaks that improve focus, boost well-being, and build stronger connections.
Daily Activities & Challenges
Each day of the week brings a fresh challenge that sparks creativity, mindfulness, and fun:
Day 1: Tidy Tech Tuesday (preview clip)
Day 2: Wellness Wednesday
Day 3: Thoughtful Thursday
Day 4: Focus Friday
Day 5: Self-Care Saturday
Day 6: Soulful Sunday
Day 7: Mindful Monday

Youth Groups: Organize unplugged outings, team-building activities, or service projects.
Why It Matters
