South Shore Digital Wellness (SSDW)
What is Digital Wellness?
Digital wellness is an ongoing practice for individuals, families, and communities. The practice invites us to build and maintain intentional, balanced relationships with our use of technology, while making space for regular, in-person connection.
What Does Our Group Do?
We are a group of local families on the Massachusetts South Shore creating opportunities to gather, learn, and grow regularly in community. Our volunteer Board of Directors maintains a directory of resources and a monthly calendar of events for our regular programs and partnerships. We work with community organizations, local businesses, and like-minded groups in state-wide and national networks.
Our Programs & Events
We bring local families together with a Digital Wellness Speaker Series, Play Days, our Digital Wellness Book Club, Community Meeting, Outdoor Family Meet Ups, and partner events that support in-person community connection.

SSDW Play Days
SSDW Play Days represent low- or no-cost, screen‑free opportunities for kids and families to gather, learn, and grow together in real life. We set the scene for unstructured, loose-parts, child‑led play and then step back to watch kids build confidence, friendships, and community together.
Let’s play!
