Description:

This webinar provides school psychologists with a practical overview of cyberbullying and what educators can do to prevent and respond to it in school settings. Dr. Amanda Nickerson and Dr. Stephanie Fredrick examine how students use digital technology and social media, including both benefits and risks that impact behavior and well-being. Participants will learn how to define cyberbullying, distinguish it from typical peer conflict, and identify key warning signs that a student may be involved. The session reviews current prevalence trends and highlights how online experiences can influence student mental health and functioning in school. A strong focus is placed on prevention, including schoolwide expectations, digital citizenship, and social-emotional learning within an MTSS framework. The presenters also share practical intervention strategies and recommended resources that schools can use to support students, respond effectively to incidents, and promote a safer and more supportive school environment.
