Why SMRI Exists
Why SMRI Exists
Social media isn't going away. What we can do is give young people the literacy, the self-awareness, and the skills to use it without losing themselves. That's what Social Media First Aid™ does. The SMRI Platform delivers it at scale — inside schools, youth programs, and universities with the compliance architecture institutions actually need.

Built for Every Institution That Serves Young People
K–12 districts, universities, youth organizations, government agencies, and community programs. Our partners range from public schools navigating compliance mandates to international nonprofits working in digital safety. What they share is a commitment to the young people in their care and a need for something that actually works.
Built for compliance. Ready to deploy
The platform meets FERPA, COPPA, and GDPR requirements out of the box. No custom development, no lengthy IT procurement. Schools and organizations get everything they need from day one lessons, tracking, reporting, and parent engagement tools all in one place.
Active in 6 countries and growing
From Harnett County, NC to Kathmandu to Melbourne. Our partners bring local knowledge, cultural context, and community trust. We bring the curriculum and the platform. Together we're building something that works across borders, not just classrooms.
