This workshop will engage parents in a dialogue about some of the safety and interpersonal challenges students face while using communication technologies, how they, as adults, can help their children navigate these obstacles, and learn tips and strategies they can employ to help raise safe, responsible (cyber) citizens.

·         Tools to create and maintain healthy relationships with others

·         Strategies to model successful behavior online and off

·         Handling cyberbullying/bullying situations
