About Me

I’m Chris Vollum, an Oakville-based parent of two grown kids.

For the past 21 years, I’ve delivered practical, relatable presentations on social media, digital wellness – and now AI.

I guide school communities (students, parents, and educators) on how to build healthier digital lives with clarity and intention.

Being pro-technology, I am also, and equally, pro-critical thinking, mental well-being, and fostering meaningful connection.

What I focus on:

• Digital well-being that students can actually do (not just “be careful”)
• How social media shapes identity, stress, reputation, and belonging
• AI literacy: benefits, limitations, bias, mistruths and better decision-making
• A respectful tone that lands with students and earns parent trust
