Who We Are & Why We Built This

Our Mission

RaisedOffScreen exists because screen dependency in children is real, it is growing, and the current cultural response -- rules, timers, and taking devices away -- is not working. We build evidence-based programs that give families the tools to address the actual neurological mechanism behind screen dependency, not just the symptoms.

Dr. Jonathan Hale

Dr. Jonathan Hale is a child development researcher specializing in behavioral technology research and family wellness. He has spent fifteen years studying what technology does to developing brains, to family relationships, and to the capacity for deep, sustained attention.

His work is grounded in addiction neuroscience, attention research, habit formation science, and clinical family therapy. The programs at RaisedOffScreen are drawn directly from this research and from his clinical work with hundreds of families navigating screen dependency.

Dr. Hale is the author of the Screen Time Reset Workbook (ISBN 979-8-90119-885-8), published through Lightning Source under Primedia eLaunch LLC.

Our Approach

Every activity and intervention in our programs has a clinical mechanism. We do not offer generic advice or motivational content. We explain the neuroscience, provide the exact words to use, and give families a step-by-step structure that makes the right choices easier than the default.
