Preventing Cyberbullying

Posted: 10/14/2016

My name is Michael Nuccitelli, Psy.D. and I am a NYS licensed psychologist and forensic consultant. My dream is to one day encourage all American schools to make internet safety and cyberbullying prevention compulsory in their educational curriculums. Although we live in the Information Age, cyberbullying continues to grow at an alarming pace. Many parents, educators and pediatric professionals fail to realize the devastation that cyberbullying can cause a child experiencing cyberbullying. Prior to the Information Age, the child could leave the school or playground to seek sanctuary. Not so with cyberbullying. The child is cyberbullied 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. To share my passion, I will be presenting at the Colorado Psychological Association (CPA) conference this November. As part of my keynote presentation and full-day training, cyberbullying prevention will be a central theme. Part of my resources include free images, slide shows and information for educational purposes. I hope my work can educate parents and teachers about cyberbullying.
