Children and Screens Kris Perry on Girls That Create with Erin Prather Stafford

Join Erin Prather Stafford and her guest, Kris Perry, for a talk about  technology’s impacts on child health and well-being and how parents can help their children navigate the online world.

Kris Perry is the Executive Director of Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development. Perry most recently served as Senior Advisor to Governor Gavin Newsom of California and Deputy Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency where she led the development of the California Master Plan for Early Learning and Care and the expansion of access to high-quality early childhood programs. She led systems change efforts at the local, state and national levels in her roles as executive director of First 5 San Mateo, First 5 California and of the First Five Years Fund.

Through it all, Perry has fought to protect children, improve and expand early learning programs, and increase investments in low-income children. Perry was instrumental in returning marriage equality to California after the landmark 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling Hollingsworth v. Perry, which she wrote about in her book Love on Trial.
