Address Students' Explicit Images Online

Technology has radically changed many aspects of our students' lives. One of the most complex problems is the repercussions of students sharing explicit images of themselves with others online. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s CyberTipline receives reports that include this type of content depicting children of all ages. Explore recent CyberTipline data and research about this issue and discuss how to apply a trauma-informed approach to helping students whose self-generated images are circulating online potentially leading to blackmail, threats, or other kinds of harassment. Learn about prevention messages and resources related to sexting and other types of self-generated images for all age groups.
