CyberBreak 2026: Creating Healthy Digital Habits At Home

A fascinating conversation with renowned family psychotherapist and author, Dr. Richard Hogan and CyberSafeKids CEO, Alex Cooney, about how we can create, model and embed healthy digital habits in our home. Don't miss our seventh annual CyberBreak, a nationwide 24-hour digital detox initiative! From 7pm Friday, 16th October, to 7pm Saturday, 17th October 2026, we're encouraging families (from children, teenagers, and young people to parents and grandparents!) across the country to switch off all smart devices for a full 24 hours. We've also included a CyberByte option of 12 hours this year for those who feel a little daunted by the challenge! Supported by the HSE, CyberBreak is a nationwide initiative for families, schools, and workplaces – and a fun and engaging way for children, parents, teachers, and adults to pause, reflect, and assess just how much time we all spend online. If anything, it should encourage us to create healthier digital habits in our homes. Find out more and sign your family, school or company up now: www.cybersafekids.ie/cyberbreak
