How technology and AI shape adolescent development, taught as science rather than panic, by a clinician who sits with teenagers every week. For parents, educators, and teens themselves.
See your teen's online life the way a clinician does. Only a handful of changes have real evidence behind them. Learn those, and how to talk so your kid keeps talking to you.
What parents learn →Phone policies that do more than ban. What the numbers actually say about AI and cheating. And a plan for the bad day: a deepfake, a sextortion report, a student in crisis.
What educators learn →The science of your own developing brain, the design tricks behind your feeds, and AI explained honestly. Built on the bet that teens can understand their own minds.

I'm Bryanna Ferguson, a clinical counselor, consultant, and the mom of an adolescent myself. My practice, Duty of Care by Design, studies relational harm and artificial intimacy in conversational AI.
This research began when I went looking for training on how technology shapes adolescent development. I couldn't find a dedicated curriculum, so I built it.
Care that leads somewhere real always comes from a person.
