The Weight DeKalb County residents Carry
Before anything changes, it helps to name what you are carrying. For many DeKalb residents, it sounds something like this:

Social media is stealing your teen's happiness?
Likes, followers, FOMOΓÇöyour teen is measuring their worth in algorithms. You've watched their confidence shrink while their screen time explodes.
