The center works across entertainment, tech, gaming, public health, and consumer products sectors, supporting major studios, platforms, and brands in integrating DEIA, mental health, and inequality considerations into their content and products. Through partnerships with hundreds of subject-matter experts and researchers worldwide, CSS aims to inform media development that can help young people thrive, drawing on original research and practical tools that have been referenced by major media outlets. A notable recent development includes a collaboration with Moonbug Entertainment to integrate child development research into preschool programming.
