Staff training kit

Six realistic cases, from a group chat pile-on to sextortion and AI-made images, each with questions and what good practice looks like.
Staff checklist
What to do when a student tells you about something that happened online: listen, decide if it’s urgent, save, pass it on.
Guide for families
Warning signs, what to do if it happens, when to act the same day, and where families can get help.
Guía para familias (español)
La guía para familias en español: señales de alerta, qué hacer, cuándo actuar el mismo día y dónde pedir ayuda.
Counselor-educator module
A graduate course unit with objectives, session plans, assignments and a rubric, mapped to the 2024 CACREP standards.
Built on U.S. professional standards
Every resource reflects what the professions on a school team expect: ASCA, ACA and NBCC for counselors, NASP and APA for psychologists, NASN for school nurses, SSWAA and NASW for social workers, AAP for pediatricians and families, and CACREP and ACES for counselor education. The staff training kit and the counselor-education module include a table of what each one says, and each practice scenario names the standards that apply. For the full summaries, with links to the originals, see What the professions say.
