CleoSocial's content ratings and wellbeing tools align with AAP and APA guidance on healthy adolescent social media use.
The honest answer has been 'nothing is really safe.' CleoSocial gives clinicians a concrete platform to recommend — one built around the controls and limits that professional guidance recommends.
Treating anxiety and depression without addressing the social media environment is treating symptoms. CleoSocial gives families a practical intervention at the source.
Research on social media and adolescent health is evolving fast. CleoSocial's design is grounded in current evidence from the APA, AAP, and peer-reviewed research.
Pediatricians and child psychologists are increasingly asked by families to recommend safe social media options. CleoSocial is built around the principles those recommendations should include: content controls, screen time limits, and wellbeing monitoring that doesn't require surveillance.
CleoSocial's content ratings, time limits, and wellbeing monitoring reflect recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics and American Psychological Association.
A personal wellbeing dashboard that tracks usage patterns and content exposure signals — giving adolescents and parents data to discuss with their clinician.
App-enforced daily limits and scheduled downtime — the behavioral intervention that clinical guidance recommends and that families struggle to implement on their own.
Free materials for clinicians to share with families — explaining content ratings, screen time research, and how to set up CleoSocial's safety controls.
"For the first time I have something concrete to recommend to families beyond 'monitor their phone.' CleoSocial actually implements the controls I've been telling parents to enforce manually."
— Pediatric psychologist
CleoSocial's design reflects evidence from the APA's 2023 health advisory on social media and adolescent wellbeing, AAP screen time guidelines, and peer-reviewed research on content exposure and adolescent mental health.
