Cyberbullying and Interventions Programs in School and Clinical Setting

Cyberbullying: The hidden side of college students

“…In this sense, we should develop children's skills (Iudici, 2013). In addition, parents should proactively and regularly access cybersafety resources designed for them, with the purpose of becoming more familiar with emerging technologies and online trends (Faccio, Iudici, Costa, & Belloni, 2014).…”

In the CyberMentors program for instance, students are trained as cybermentors, log on and mentor on demand, and they can refer mentees onto senior cybermentors and counselors for further support if necessary (Faccio et al, 2014).…”
