Description

Cyberbullying is a training that explores what cyberbullying entails, warning signs that a child may be a victim of it, and its harmful effects. Statistics on cyberbullying are examined and reasons for cyberbullying behavior in children and youth are discussed. Strategies designed to protect children and youth from becoming a victim of cyberbullying are provided.   

After completing this training, participants will be able to: 

• Identify the signs of a child, teen or young adult being cyberbullied or engaging in cyberbullying behavior.
