The
Third
Talk

An Early-Age Digital Risk Prevention Program

Protecting children before exposure becomes harm

Our Mission

The Third Talk’s mission is to initiate a young age, digital safety conversation between parents and their children, schools and their students, and full community involvement. We then equip each segment with the tools necessary to continue that conversation through adolescence into young adulthood.
