The Arkansas Center for School Safety is proud to announce a new virtual training opportunity designed to equip educators and School Resource Officers (SROs) with the tools to address some of the most pressing digital threats facing students today.

Cyberbullying, Sextortion, and the Pathway to Radicalization is an intensive 8-hour training that dives deep into the evolving landscape of online harm. With youth increasingly exposed to digital exploitation and extremist content, this training offers a proactive, trauma-informed approach to prevention and intervention. Whether you’re on the front lines of student support or shaping school policy, this training will provide actionable insights and tools to help you protect and empower youth in your care.

Why This Training Matters

In today’s digital age, threats like cyberbullying and sextortion are not only more prevalent—they’re more sophisticated. Add to that the growing influence of radicalized online communities, and the need for informed, vigilant school safety professionals becomes urgent.

This training will help participants:

  • Identify and respond to worrisome online behaviors using digital behavioral indicators.
  • Understand the psychological impact of cyberbullying and sextortion on high-risk and vulnerable youth (HRVY).
  • Recognize signs of radicalization and assess risk enhancers and protective factors.
  • Explore the role of AI in digital exploitation and learn how to detect AI-generated harmful content.
  • Strengthen school culture and climate through updated codes of conduct and inclusive practices.

Who Should Attend

This training is ideal for:

  • School Resource Officers
  • Educators
  • School Administrators
  • School Counselors

This FREE virtual training will be held November 12.

Registration is available online.
