Triaging Cyberbullying: Protection, Intervention, & Prevention Holli Kenley, LMFT “…cyber
bullying concerns the interruption to and breakdown of ordinary
relationships, not just those of bully or victim.” (Spears, Slee,
Owens, & Johnson, 2009) “Technology is never the problem or the solution…behavior is.” (Hinduja & Patchin, 2012) “…cyber bullying is a symptom of being out of balance with technology.” (Trolley & Hanel, 2010) “Children experience a loss of empathy for others or lack of human regard for one another…” (Ang & Goh, 2010) “Cyber
bullies and situations are rarely being assessed or therapeutically
addressed…Children and youth are taught that their behavior is wrong,
but their psychological needs go unmet...cyber bullies were frequently
once victims of bullying…to help the bully work though the issues helps
to stop the cycle." (Trolley & Hanel, 2010) Our
children are growing up on a diet of technology with immediate access
to world-wide social connections. Because it has become such a normative
behavior in our society for our children to have a cell phone, laptop,
iPhone or iPad, etc., parents/guardians sometimes forget about the
window of danger that is open to them. Typically, it is not until
victims have experienced extreme humiliation through cyberbullying
attacks or until the perpetrators have been identified that some action,
if any, is taken. By the time clinicians and therapists see the victims
or perpetrators and their parents/guardians, we are confronted with
many challenges and complexities. Based on current literature as well as
the most recently published works on cyber bullying, this workshop will
describe a three part comprehensive, practical and effective approach
to assessment and treatment - Protection, Intervention, and Prevention – and it will delineate specific strategies and tools to implement within each. Goals and Learning Objectives:
Goal One: To acquire methods and strategies in protection from cyber bullying, the participants will: 1. explore the necessary safety measure to implement with technology. 2. examine specific practices to utilize in the parenting of a high tech generation. 3.
familiarize themselves with educational awareness of a cyber bullying
culture and the roles/responsibilities of each individual. Goal Two: To acquire methods and strategies of intervention with cyber bullying, the participants will: 1. explore crisis interventions to implement with cyber victims, cyber bullies, and cyber bully victims. 2. examine avenues of intervention with specific strategies for each. 3.
review the “System’s” approach (or team approach) as well as the
“Holistic” approach as it applies to treatment of cyber bullies,
victims, and bully victims. 4. review the role of support systems as they apply to effective intervention. Goal Three: To acquire methods and strategies in the prevention of cyber bullying, the participants will: 1. examine practices to implement in our relationships with technology. 2. investigate practices to implement with our families and to incorporate in our relationships with others Holli
