As a parent of 3, Ryan understands the difficulties of raising children in a rapidly evolving country. With Social Media and technology changing the way our children learn and interact, this has truly become a game-changer. Although there are many good uses for these new interactive platforms, they also come with many dangers and consequences.

BULLYING, SUICIDE, AND DEPRESSION

With Ryan’s career as a Police Officer and current role as a School Resource Officer, he is exposed to these dangers on a daily basis. These platforms have led to an increase in Bullying, Depression and Suicide that we have never experienced as a country in our nation’s history. According to the CDC, the number 2 cause of death for adolescents ages 15-19 is suicide.

SOCIAL MEDIA'S EFFECT ON AUTHORITY

Social Media and other such platforms have also led to a decrease in respect for adults by our youth. More parents, educators and law enforcement are being challenged by our youth because of negative influencers perpetuating and promoting disorder and misconduct. Ryan has met with parents and teachers in efforts of assisting them in regaining control in their homes and classrooms.

NEW WAYS OF REACHING YOUR CHILD

With the current state of society and these freighting statistics, Ryan has discovered new ways to reach the youth on their level. Ryan’s workshop’s hit on all of the above issues and allow your child/student to develop a confidence they have never had. A confidence to say no when pressured, a confidence to love themselves when they feel like no one else does, and a confidence to show respect even when it’s not the popular thing to do. Ryan has become a great role-model and example to our youth and has a desire to treat them like they are his own.
