Provincial Youth Cyberviolence Prevention Strategy

The Government of PEI is leading the development of a Provincial Youth Cyberviolence Prevention Strategy. In the digital age, the prevalence and risk of cyberbullying among youth in Prince Edward Island is a serious concern. It is important that the government and its agencies and the community develop a shared understanding of how best to promote a safer online environment, and to equip youth with tools to protect themselves from the occurrence of, and lasting effects of, cyberbullying and cyberviolence.
