Unplug to Reconnect Youth Mental Health Event

Worried about your child's phone use? Navigating the "Can I get a phone?" conversation?

Unplug to Reconnect is a powerful, in-person event at Kingswood School, exploring how technology is affecting youth mental health - and what we can do about it.

Hosted by The Digital Detox Club, the afternoon gathering will bring together powerful speakers, student performances, music, and real stories from teens to shine a light on the social and emotional cost of life online. With smartphones sealed in pouches on arrival, this will be a rare chance to be fully present in a space designed for honesty, connection, and hope.

You’ll hear from authors, educators, musicians, and young people themselves, as we unpack topics like social media pressure, screen addiction, and emotional resilience. From compelling talks and poetry to raw interviews and live performances (including a Theatre Royal movement piece), every moment is designed to inspire meaningful reflection - and collective action.

The event will finish with a dive into our breakout space, a joyful, hands-on zone packed with screen-free fun. Get creative with clay, fabric art, crafts, try yoga or freeG parkour, relax in the chill out space, or simply enjoy connecting with others face-to-face. You’ll leave feeling lighter, stronger, and more connected.

Join the movement and reclaim real life with us.
