Dr. D'Souza doesn't just diagnose the problem—he provides a clear, actionable roadmap for families and institutions to fight back.

Beyond the Talk: Institutional Partnerships

Many schools and organizations want more than a one-time event. After speaking to administrators nationwide, I've seen firsthand the challenges leaders face implementing digital boundaries—especially when parents push back.

I partner with forward-thinking institutions to:

  • Facilitate workshops for parent communities building buy-in

  • Provide strategic guidance for administrators navigating phone policy rollouts

  • Serve as "the bad guy" in parent meetings (taking pressure off school leadership)

  • Train youth leaders and staff on sustainable digital health frameworks

  • Offer ongoing advisory support as policies are implemented

This work is invitation-only and customized to your institution's unique needs.
