Digital Tattoo Next Gen

Digital Tattoo Next Gen

Regional Parenting and CatholicCare Victoria – Warrnambool together with Leigh Bartlett of Parkbench Solutions present, Digital Tattoo Next Gen.

A workshop for parents, carers, grandparents and others supporting a young person with technology.

Technology keeps changing but the need for calm, confident, open family conversations hasn’t. Following recent social media law changes, regular ‘check-ins’ matter more than ever, especially as some young people explore workarounds. We also draw on early years research to guide conversations about screen use for younger children.

What we’ll explore:

• Supporting healthy relationships online.


• Connection before correction.


• Boundaries and holding space for emotion.


• The impact of fear, shame and guilt.


• Algorithms, self-agency and cultural humiliation.


• The importance of modelling healthy behaviour.


• ‘Where to next?’ for under-16s.

• Practical AI conversations.


• Things to consider before introducing technology.


• Navigating tech discussions within friendship groups.
