COURSE OVERVIEW

The Internet has created a false sense of anonymity and ease of sharing information that has fueled cyberbullying. These acts include spreading rumors, sending threats or hurtful comments, or sharing compromising videos or pictures of the victim can directly affect our client’s mental health. In the cyber world, a bully doesn’t have to be stronger or bigger, the power lies in their typed words or the information or picture in their possession.

In this two-hour course, we will identify what cyberbullying is and the scope of this issue. We will examine what causes a client to turn to bully online or what makes a client vulnerable to cyberbullying. After processing several therapeutic interventions during this course, you will be more prepared to provide therapy for clients who are cyberbullies or are being cyberbullied.
