Creating a Community Response to Cyberbullying

描述(申请人提供)：网络欺凌的定义是使用技术来伤害他人。近三分之一的青少年报告说自己是网络欺凌的受害者。网络欺凌会给受害者带来一系列的学业、躯体、心理和社会问题；那些从事网络欺凌的青少年也会受到影响。鉴于网络欺凌可能对我们的青年产生强烈的负面影响，加强预防和干预努力至关重要。研究表明，协调一致的社区应对措施可以帮助减轻网络欺凌对受害者和肇事者的影响。这项名为“创建社区应对网络欺凌”的拟议会议的目标是为三州地区(纽约州西部、宾夕法尼亚州西北部和俄亥俄州东部)的专业人员、教育工作者和家长提供有关网络欺凌的信息，如何识别和识别网络欺凌的提示，以及在学校内外应对网络欺凌的有效方法。我们希望通过这次会议达到的具体目标包括：向教育工作者、家长和社区合作伙伴提供有关网络欺凌的信息和培训(什么是网络欺凌，如何识别网络欺凌，如何有效应对网络欺凌)；确定学生在现实世界中的网络欺凌经历，以及这些经历如何影响学业、社会和心理功能；为教育工作者、家长和社区合作伙伴提供网络机会，以创建更好的社区响应网络，并教导与会者如何共同努力，创建一个可行的社区行动计划，如何应对网络欺凌，带回他们的家乡社区。将涵盖的主要主题包括网络欺凌对青少年和社区的影响；如何确定网络欺凌的受害者和肇事者；教师、家长、学校管理人员和社区合作伙伴的有效预防和干预方法；以及如何创建社区应对措施，从多学科的角度解决网络欺凌问题。这次会议将开始创建一个由教育工作者、管理人员和社区合作伙伴组成的网络，他们致力于减少网络欺凌的流行和影响，并协助制定初步行动计划，与会者可以将这些计划带回他们的家乡社区，这些社区有真正的机会减少三州地区的网络欺凌。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cyberbullying is defined as using technology to hurt someone else. Nearly one-one third of all adolescents report being a victim of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying leads to a number of academic, somatic, psychological, and social problems for its victims; those adolescents who engage in cyberbullying also suffer. Given the strong and negative impact that cyberbullying can have on our youth, increased prevention and intervention efforts are essential. Research has suggested that a coordinated community response can help mitigate the effects of cyberbullying on victims and perpetrators alike. The goal of the proposed conference entitled Creating a Community Response to Cyberbullying is to provide professionals, educators, and parents in the tri-state area (western New York, northwestern Pennsylvania, and eastern Ohio) information about cyberbullying, tips on how to identify and recognize cyberbullying, and effective ways to respond to cyberbullying within and outside of the school setting. Specific objectives that we aim to meet with this conference include provide information and training to educators, parents, and community partners about cyberbullying (what is it, how to identify it, how to respond to it effectively); identifying real world cyberbulying experiences of students and how these experiences affect academic, social, and psychological functioning; providing networking opportunities for educators, parents, and community partners in order to create a better community response network, and teaching attendees how to work together to create a workable community action plan on how to respond to cyberbullying to take back to their home communities. The principal topics that will be covered will include the effects of cyberbullying on adolescents and communities; how to identify victims and perpetrators of cyberbullying; effective prevention and intervention methods for teachers, parents, school administrators, and community partners; and how to create a community response to address cyberbullying from a multidisciplinary perspective. This conference will begin creating a network of educators, administrators, and community partners who are invested in decreasing the prevalence and effects of cyberbullying and assist in the development of preliminary action plans that attendees can take back to their home communities that have a real chance at reducing cyberbullying in the tri-state area.
