Safer Schools Together, in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Childcare, is offering “Social Media Awareness” family sessions. These sessions are designed to support families and caregivers navigate the digital world at home and in the community. Dates, times and information to register can be found in the link below.

This session covers all things digital, from how to be a good digital citizen, the criminal consequences of cyberbullying, and how to report and receive support in cases of sexting/sextortion.

Some of the most prominent concerns currently surrounding use of social media platforms, smartphones, and artificial intelligence will be discussed.

Families will learn:

• Digital media habits, oversharing, and digital addiction
• The permanence of online posts/activity
• The significance of your digital tattoo in how others perceive you (e.g., sports teams, college admissions, and potential employers)
• The importance of caring for peers both online and offline
• Geo-locational settings and the dangers of social media and cell phone misuse
• The social and legal consequences of cyberbullying behaviour as well as possession and distribution of intimate images (sexting and sextortion)
• An anonymous student reporting tool that can help you and your friends stay safe both online and offline
