Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying Project
Cyberbullying Trauma-Informed Intervention is a five-year project funded by Public Safety Canada, under the Crime Prevention Action Fund (CPAF). Approximately 30% of young people disclose experiencing cyberbullying, and its impacts can be significant and long-lasting.
This project will work to reduce incidents of cyberbullying impacting youth on Prince Edward Island.
Working with a youth advisory council, we are developing two resources:
- A workshop for youth about cyberbullying prevention, including healthy relationships, rights and consent, and what to do if you’re being cyberbullied.
- A workshop for caregivers, educators, coaches, and other youth-serving adults, about how to have effective conversations with youth about cyberbullying, and how to best support disclosures of cyberbullying.
