Bullying & Cyberbullying Programs
​Social conflict, bullying, and cyberbullying remain common challenges in any school environment today.

Everything covered is research-based and the data is explored. Directly related topics such as social media use are also covered.

Digital Behaviors Programs
Social media and technology use aren’t tangential to behavior and mental health in kids today – this is a central issue. This training focuses more specifically on digital problems (such as cyberbullying or sexting), the research on these problems, and concrete approaches to addressing these challenges.
Bias & Diversity Programs
This program for faculty provides a training that is designed to help raise awareness of bias and diversity challenges in education, and provide tips and strategies that educators can use to improve their teaching or the administration of their schools. At present, this program is being evaluated and thus schools may opt to participate as part of the pilot program. There is a student curriculum that accompanies this training.

Advisory Training for Educators
Advisory can be a tricky program to implement. Educators may resist, students may not participate, and the purpose of Advisory can become vague and poorly defined. This training helps educators understand the purpose of Advisory (not therapy!), how to frame it for students, and the research that clearly indicates what elements help Advisory succeed and what approaches are much less successful.

Kids' Use of Online Pornography
Youth exposure to online pornography is a significant challenge for those working with young kids and adolescents today. This faculty training will be led by Megan Maas, PhD, an associate professor in Human Development & Family Studies at Michigan State University. Faculty will be trained in how experiences of social media, sexting, and online pornography play a bi-directional role in the development of attitudes and behavior related to sexuality and gender. The goal of the training is to help prevent sexual violence and promote sexual health among adolescents and emerging adults. Fees may apply.
