Online Parent Module

headspace Geelong, the Geelong Cats and Deakin University have created an online resource to assist parents to navigate the online world with their young people. 

Online challenges are hard to navigate for young people and their parents. We have developed this resource to help guide you through different aspects of supporting your child online.

Voiced by Cats legend Corey Enright and players Jordan Ivey and Josh Jenkins this online module takes you through 5 key actions to keep your young people safe online as well as information on the topics of; Cyberbullying, Sexting, Online Porn, Time Online, Online Gaming and Grooming and Predators. The information delivered in these modules has put together by the School of Psychology at Deakin University based on the best available evidence.

You can find the resource here 

headspace Geelong and the Geelong Cats have been delivering the Cyber Cars Program to year 7s in the Geelong Region for the past 9 years.
