Her experiences with youth and families, as well as being a parent herself, led Cheryl to create iWise, LLC as a vehicle to promote the healthy use of electronic screens.

Cheryl has 30 years of experience working with youth and families in mental health and wellness promotion. As a school-based therapist and mother of a teenager, Cheryl is acutely aware of our youth’s cyber-culture, their dependence upon screens, and the overwhelming potential for harm. Because of her experiences and concern that “someone must do something!” Cheryl began iWise as a resource for individuals, families, and communities to assist them in assessing screen use and promoting healthier use models.
•Presentations & Professional Workshops
It is imperative for every parent and professional to Be Aware of the potential harms of using internet-connected electronic screens and learn the skills necessary to Protect, Prepare, and Respond to increase online safety and digital wellness and decrease potential negative outcomes.
