Today Stop Sexual Assault in Schools presented the webinar “Student Wellness, Equity and Resilience in an Online World: Strategies for K-12 Schools,” hosted by the American Federation of Teachers.
The webinar explores how early and sustained digital literacy instruction can strengthen student wellness, equity, and resilience by reducing vulnerability to online manipulation, harassment, and radicalizing content. Dr. Christine German at PERIL introduces the research-based DUCC K–5 curriculum. SSAIS board member Dr. Otis McGresham shares practical strategies for addressing algorithms, misogyny, sexist harassment, and other digital harms in grades 6–12.
Viewers can access actionable tools, peer-led approaches such as student-created zines and SASH clubs, and resources on sextortion, deepfakes, and online misogyny, along with strategies for engaging parents and building supportive school communities.
