Digital Safety Training and Resources
Technology can be a wonderful thing, but sometimes the benefits come at a cost. Social media, online gaming, chat rooms—you name it—the internet can expose children to some scary stuff, including bullying, inappropriate content, identity theft and online predators. It is important for us all—kids and grown-ups alike—to know that our online activity can put us at risk. Learn how you can help protect kids in a digital world from the experts at the Stephanie V. Blank Center for Safe and Healthy Children.

Digital Safety Training for professionals and caregivers
The Keeping Children Safe in a Digital World Training covers different types of technology and how kids and teens use them. By the end of the session, participants will be able to recognize at least 4 special media apps, define cyberbullying, and identify steps grown-ups can take to protect children from online risks.

Sign UpDigital Safety Training for youth
In this training, youth between the ages of 5 and 18 learn how they can keep themselves and others safe online. We will discuss what being a good digital citizen means and how youth can practice social media and digital safety etiquette. Digital literacy is discussed at length to emphasize the importance of being careful with what information or content is shared online. With older youth, we address the risks of sending inappropriate images or videos (in a developmentally appropriate manner) and what to do if someone shares or threatens to share that material.
