National PTA and Norton co-created The Smart Talk in 2015, completing a major expansion and redesign in 2022. National PTA is the largest and oldest child advocacy association in the United States. Norton empowers people and families around the world to feel safer in their digital lives.
Norton is the founding and presenting sponsor of PTA Connected, an initiative helping families discuss digital safety in a judgment-free zone to establish healthy digital behaviors with guidance from expert resources and tools.
