Lessons That Address Real Threats
Each 50-minute lesson includes slides, videos, discussion guides, and hands-on activities.
Lesson 1
Healthy Relationships, Online & Off
This foundational lesson establishes a framework for healthy interactions, online and off. Students learn to identify characteristics of healthy relationships and recognize warning signs of unhealthy ones. They practice setting and communicating boundaries in all of their relationships.
Sexting & Online Boundaries
Students learn that sexting is a serious digital-age issue and discover the consequences they might face if they send — or are sent — a sext. They become aware of possible legal consequences and are empowered with actionable strategies to protect themselves.
Lesson 2
Lesson 3
Revenge Porn: When Private Becomes Public
Students learn about "revenge porn"—the act of sending or posting another person's intimate photos or videos without consent. They discover its serious social and legal consequences, gain strategies to protect themselves online, and learn what to do if they ever become involved in an incident.
Lesson 4
Spotting & Stopping Sextortion
Sextortion—when an offender coerces a minor into creating and sending explicit images using threats, blackmail, or emotional pressure—is a growing problem the FBI has issued a warning about, particularly targetin teen boys. Students learn to identify and avoid sextortion schemes in this critical lesson.
AI-Manipulated Images and You
Students explore how generative AI can manipulate photos of people and discover the real-world harm this causes, even when an image looks fake or is meant as a joke. They consider the ethical and emotional impact and learn what to do if they or someone they know becomes a victim of image-based abuse.
Lesson 5
Lesson 7
Hooked: How Technology Hijacks Attention
Students learn about “persuasive technology”—technology specifically designed to change users’ opinions, attitudes, or behaviors in order to meet its goals. They examine AI systems, including recommendation algorithms, that power many of today’s most persuasive features so that they can protect themselves from these "addictive" technologies.
AI Chatbots vs. Real Connections
There is a growing use of AI chatbots—programs that simulate human conversation through text or voice—amongst youth. In this lesson, they consider when it's appropriate to use a chatbot and when it's better to seek out a real person, especially for emotional support or complex issues.
Lesson 6
Lesson 8
Playing to Lose: What is Gambling?
Most students don't think of themselves as gamblers — but many have opened a loot box or made a gacha pull. This lesson gives students a four-question test for identifying gambling, then has them apply it to three kinds of game mechanics. A hands-on card activity reveals how variable rewards, FOMO, near-misses, and sunk cost drive spending.
Lesson 9
Is It Gambling in Disguise?
Sports betting is framed as skill. Prediction markets are called forecasting. Cryptocurrency is called investing. This lesson has students apply the four-question test to activities marketed as anything but gambling, examine how advertising and algorithms normalized it, and learn to recognize warning signs in themselves or a friend.
"As a mental health professional, I’ve witnessed firsthand how today’s digital world profoundly shapes the emotional wellbeing of young people. Students today are navigating far more than academics—they’re juggling the pressures of social media, the complexities of digital relationships, and the constant presence of screens in nearly every aspect of their lives. That’s why this Digital Health & Wellbeing series is not just timely—it’s essential."
