36 Months is a movement for healthy teen development, without the influence of social media, focused on the 36 months between 13 and 16.
We were the catalyst behind the new social media legislation in Australia. We rallied more than 127,000 petition signatures to raise the age of social media citizenship by 36 months, from 13 - 16. This podcast is for parents and teachers - the custodians of healthy teen development who still believe that an intentional 36 months, could change a lifetime.
