On Tuesday we had a meeting with our 10th grader who participated in a well-being session as part of our wellbeing program to conclude Pillar I: Online Safety. With this session we wanted our student to understand three key points:

• Have you heard of sextortion?
• Do you know what it means to be blackmailed?
• What would you do if someone threatened you online?

As House Parents, it very important to give tools to our students to protect themselves online and to promote a better use of social medias. As teenagers, most of our student have had access to internet and it’s risk at a very young age and it is our role and responsibility to make sure they understand who to navigate the digital world with responsibility.

We also discussed the importance of sharing with an adult or with someone you trust.
