How to Have Empowering Conversations with Students About Internet Safety

Technology has radically changed many things about the lives of students. One of the most complex problems to deal with is the repercussions of students sharing explicit images of themselves with others online. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s CyberTipline receives reports that include this type of content depicting children of all ages. We will share recent CyberTipline data and research about this issue. And then we will discuss how to apply trauma-informed approach to helping students whose self-generated images are circulating online and who may be blackmailed, threatened, or experience other kinds of harassment as a result. We will also talk about prevention messages and resources related to sexting and other types of self-generated images for all age groups.
