Empowering youth through education to help prevent sextortion

|
Stories about youth falling victim to sextortion scams are on the rise, and as the school year picks up speed, the Canadian Centre for Child Protection is here to support educators with free and easy-to-access resources to help you talk about these complicated topics in the classroom.

Get the ball rolling:
- Our free sextortion lesson plan, which includes a presentation, speaking notes, and a lesson PDF can help guide initial discussions about sextortion.
- Additional information about tactics sextortionists use to try to exploit youth, including recent trends targeting adolescent boys, provide concrete examples of what we’re seeing. For general information about how youth can fall victim to sextortion, visit Cybertip.ca®.
- This video can be used in the classroom to help address sextortion of male youth.
- Reviewing what healthy relationships should feel like for youth can also be an important topic to tackle after talking about unhealthy pressures online.
