Cyberbullying, Sextortion, and the Pathway to Radicalization

Cyberbullying, Sextortion, and Radicalization are evolving—and they’re targeting one of our most vulnerable
groups: our youth. This essential training tackles the difficult realities of cyberbullying, sextortion, and online
radicalization, highlighting their evolution in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Drawing on SST cases, data-driven
best practices, and years of hands-on experience, we’ll provide you with the tools and knowledge to identify
and support vulnerable youth, understand the impact of these concerns, and develop proactive prevention and
intervention strategies.

This training contains three critical segments: The Rise of Cyberbullying and Sextortion, Understanding the
Pathway to Radicalization, and The Role of AI in Today’s Digital Threats, which each address concerns affecting
youth in New Zealand and worldwide. Due to the complex nature of each of these behaviors, a unique approach
is needed to identify worrisome behavior and support victims more effectively. We must ensure that we provide
relevant education, effective modeling, and coping strategies for all parties.
