May is Mental Health Awareness Month, making it a great time to put this critical issue in the spotlight. It’s an issue that touches every family in some way around the country. It’s evident in the problems we see played out, from mass shootings to a bullying epidemic and beyond; we have some serious issues that are causing pain and decreasing the quality of life for millions. The more we can identify the problem, and what to do about it, the better society will be.

Because it is often done indirectly or anonymously, cyberbullying is less visible to external parties and often difficult for adults to detect and address such behavior (Nansel et al., 2001). The challenge for parents is to know when their child is being cyberbullied and what to look out for.
