Student Program Overview
Developed by Stephanie Small, LMFT and Judy Rogg, MSW
Promotes Critical Thinking and Healthy Decision Making
Navigating Online Harms is a fully scripted, evidence‑based prevention program that equips students with practical skills to develop critical thinking and navigate digital risks safely — without exposing them to explicit content or increasing district liability. It integrates seamlessly into existing health, counseling, or digital citizenship initiatives and is delivered by trained staff at no cost to the district.
Why It Matters
This program builds skills — not fear. Students face escalating online risks affecting learning, behavior, and mental health. Many lack the developmental maturity to evaluate long‑term consequences or resist digital peer pressure.
What It Delivers
- Developmentally appropriate, trauma‑informed instruction
- No explicit or graphic material
- Fully scripted for consistency and implementation fidelity
- Reinforces district safety and wellness priorities
- Encourages communication with trusted adults
- Includes optional pre‑/post‑survey data for accountability
Evidence-Based and Trauma Informed
All content is delivered within students’ Window of Tolerance (Daniel Siegel, M.D.), to support
learning without emotional overload.
- Prevention science best practices
- Brain development research
- Trauma‑informed education principles
Student Outcomes
Students learn to recognize online risks, understand how brain development affects decisions,
resist peer pressure, and make informed, healthy choices.
Demonstrated Success
Successfully implemented in multiple school districts across the United States, including
Tennessee and Utah, with positive feedback from administrators, educators, parents, and students.
Parent Evening Workshop – “Is Social Media Destroying Health & Families?”
We also offer an informative parent evening which is scripted and can be presented at any parent evening. We encourage parents to hear what their kids will learn in addition to hearing some eye-opening data. We also help parents understand warning signs, and share specific parenting strategies to learn how to help their kids make healthier choices.
