Welcome to Bridging the Gap, presented by Orange Partnership and airing on 97.9 The Hill and Chapelboro.com!

This month, join a conversation with Alanna Coyle, a Senior at Orange High School, and intern with the ADAPT program, and Vickie Feaster-Fornville, Lead Technician for the Second Family Foundation, which is a member of the Orange Partnership coalition.

Young people are highly susceptible to influences online due to their developing brains and focus on social image. That’s why this holiday season is a great opportunity to put down your phone and tablet and enjoy life free from devices for at least a few minutes each day.

Listen above to the full conversation between 97.9 The Hill’s Andrew Stuckey, Alanna Coyle, and Vickie Feaster-Fornville as they discuss screentime usage, dangers that young people encounter online as a result, and how to balance a healthy lifestyle in an increasing digital world.


Bridging the Gap, presented by Orange Partnership, showcases a new conversation on the first Friday of each month airing on 97.9 The Hill, with the full series posted on Chapelboro. Meet local partners working together to close the communication gap between parents and their children and help all young people in our community live healthy and productive lives through awareness, compassion, consideration and positive action!
