This joint resolution honors and commends Wired Human, a nonprofit organization, for its significant work in addressing the youth mental health crisis and promoting healthy digital engagement among young people. The resolution acknowledges the alarming rise in depression and anxiety linked to technology use among youth, the prevalence of online harms, and the extensive time teenagers spend on digital media, which can contribute to loneliness and mental health issues. It highlights Wired Human's efforts to equip, educate, and empower youth, parents, and educators through its RUMB model (Relationship, Understanding, Mentorship, and Boundaries), which focuses on fostering resilience and personal responsibility rather than shame. The resolution also recognizes Wired Human's innovative curriculum, its role in elevating youth voices through art, and its community initiatives aimed at supporting families and leaders in navigating the challenges of the digital age.
