Anti-Bullying Week: Cyberbullying, support and creating resilience
15 November | 9am - 9:55am | Zoom
The impacts of online use on physical and mental health are critical, particularly in adolescent development. When we think about keeping our children and young people safe online, we need to equip them with the essential tools to understand and navigate the internet responsibly. This session will explore cyber bullying in relation to digital resilience and online life.
