Our Purpose

CyberSafely is committed to combating the many serious risks that social media poses to our children by developing, sharing, and promoting essential educational resources. Through targeted education for parents, students, educators, coaches, and community leaders, we aim to raise awareness of these dangers, equip individuals with actionable solutions, and ultimately protect young lives. Additionally, CyberSafely serves as a collaborative advocacy platform, uniting like-minded organizations with a shared vision of safer digital spaces for youth. By amplifying these voices, exchanging insights, and promoting collective efforts on a national scale, we seek to strengthen and expand the impact of each cause, creating a safer digital environment for all.

Our challenges

The Digital Crisis Facing Today’s Youth

46% of U.S. teens have experienced cyberbullying, and sextortion cases targeting minors exceeded 12,000 in 2022 alone.

The Silent Epidemic

Since 2012, adolescent depression and self-harm have risen sharply, especially among girls. Haidt & Twenge (2024) link this to the rise of social media, as platforms like Instagram and Snapchat became widely used.

The Hidden Risk of Problematic Social Media Use

Studies show problematic social media use has a stronger connection to depression than just the time spent online, emphasizing the need to focus on how teens engage rather than only how much.

Social Media: A Double-Edged Sword for Mental Health

Positive interactions on social media can lower depression, yet negative comparisons and isolation may double the risk for heavy users—quality outweighs quantity.

The Rise of Body Dysmorphia

Frequent social media users are more than twice as likely to develop body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and symptoms of body dysmorphia.

Teen Phone Addiction and Nomophobia

Smartphone addiction is rising, with studies showing that up to 70% of adolescents experience nomophobia—the fear of being without their phone.

Why be part of
the change?

The impact is real. More than 70% of young people struggling with mental health issues do not seek help due to financial barriers, fear, or lack of awareness.

CyberSafely.ai® break down those walls and create a bridge to well-being.
