What exactly is digital health and safety?
Digital health and safety is about protecting your wellbeing, your privacy and your relationships in a world where so much of life happens online. It's not just about screen time — it's about recognising when technology is being used to monitor, control, harass or harm you, and knowing how to respond, recover and stay safe.
Why does digital health and safety matter?
Because our devices can be turned against us — not just distract us. Tracking apps, spyware, coercive messaging, doxxing, image-based abuse and online harassment are increasingly used as tools of control, especially in relationships, families and workplaces. Left unaddressed, this can lead to fear, isolation, anxiety and real-world harm. Digital health and safety helps you recognise the warning signs, take back control of your accounts and devices, and rebuild a sense of safety.
What problem is Ditox solving?
We're living in a world where technology can be twisted from a tool of connection into a tool of harm. Tech-facilitated abuse — from covert tracking to online harassment and coercive control — is rising, and too many people don't have the language, tools or support to recognise it or respond.
Ditox helps individuals, families, organisations and brands understand the risks, spot the red flags early, and build practical digital safety habits that protect people online and off.
So… what is Ditox?
Ditox is a digital health and safety organization on a mission to help people live and connect safely online. We offer education, workshops, events and advocacy for individuals, families, professionals and brands to help people:
Recognise the signs of tech-facilitated abuse and coercive control
Secure their accounts, devices and digital footprint
Respond safely if they're being tracked, harassed or targeted online
Build safer, healthier digital habits and relationships
Think of it as a safety net — practical protection for a world where harm doesn't stop at the screen.
Is Ditox just about switching off or digital detoxing?
No. Ditox isn't about disconnecting from technology — it's about making sure technology stays safe to use.
You DO NOT have to quit your phone OR delete your social media.
Ditox helps you understand the risks, close the gaps that put you at risk, and use technology on your own terms — not someone else's.
Who is Ditox for?
Ditox is for anyone who wants to feel safer with technology — especially:
Individuals who suspect they're being monitored, tracked or harassed through their devices or accounts
Survivors and people leaving unsafe relationships who need to secure their digital footprint
Parents and families wanting to understand online risks like grooming, harassment and digital coercion
Professionals and workplaces wanting to build digital safety literacy and duty-of-care practices
Brands, teams and institutions wanting to educate their community on tech-facilitated abuse and online safety
If you've ever thought "how do they always know where I am?" or "is this normal, or is this control?" — Ditox is for you.
How can Ditox help me personally?
Ditox helps you identify the signs of tech-facilitated abuse, lock down your digital footprint, and understand what support and reporting options are available to you. You'll walk away with a clearer picture of your digital risk, practical steps to reduce it, and more confidence and safety in your everyday life online.
How does Ditox work?
Through live and online workshops, training sessions, keynote speaking, community events, and family and organisational programs, Ditox guides you through practical, evidence-informed steps to understand and reduce digital risk — including the risk of tech-facilitated abuse.
We help you spot the warning signs, secure your digital life, and rebuild trust and safety after harm.
What makes Ditox different from other digital wellbeing programs?
Other programs focus on screen time and distraction. Ditox focuses on safety. We don't just ask you to use technology less — we help you use it without fear. We combine digital literacy, safety planning and lived experience to address the real risks people face online, not just the inconvenient ones.
Ditox 7-Step Framework: Digital Wellness Wheel
We've created our 7-Step Digital (Health & Safety) Wellness Wheel
to help you build a safer relationship with technology — covering awareness, prevention, response and recovery.
How do I know if Ditox is right for me, my team or family?
Ask yourself:
Do I feel uneasy about how much someone else seems to know about my location or activity?
Have I noticed messages, tracking or behaviour online that feels controlling rather than caring?
Do I know what to do, or who to contact, if I felt unsafe online?
Answered yes — or unsure — to any of these? Ditox is likely the starting point you've been needing.
