Build your e-resilience in a digital world.
We are a wellness center focused on supporting youth exposed to online harm or engaged in problematic media use.
About EWC
At E-Resilience Wellness Center (EWC) we support and empower youth who have experienced online harms like cyberbullying, digital harassment, online discrimination, doxing, and deepfakes. We also support youth who are engaged in problematic media use, like excessive time on digital media devices. We provide this support via specialized therapeutic intervention and by training/educating professionals and the community on online harm and potential protective factors, like digital literacy. Additionally, we are committed to participating in and amplifying research focused on online harm and protective factors that may strengthen interventions.
