#ICANHELP

Digital First Responder Workshops
Thursday, October 28th

 

October is bullying prevention month, and #ICANHELP wants to show students the power of positivity and teach them to be good digital citizens. They aren't just the future, they are the RIGHT NOW, and they want to help find solutions for online bullying and negativity.

 

This training will teach students how to respond to online bullying and negativity on social media and other digital platforms. They'll also learn how to take action and not just avoid negative behaviors and challenges (looking at you TikTok) but come up with positive ones instead!

 

Individual tickets are $39, and  multi-ticket and classroom packages are available by emailing admin@icanhelp.net

Digital First Responder Individual Tickets 3:30 p.m. Session
