Having presented social media safety and digital literacy education to over 1080 schools and 600,000 youth throughout Canada and the United States, we have heard one message loud and clear from educators, counselors, youth care workers, and community-based mental health workers; that message – “Many of our youth that we interact with are facing social media dilemmas, but yet we have never received any in-depth training on what youth are doing online, and what we can do to both help our student/client and protect ourselves at the same time.” We have now developed a 2hr Pro-D training workshop that will provide participants with the information and online best practices needed to understand what youth are doing online, and what workers can do to better serve their student/client if faced with youth-based social media conflict or online critical incidents. This training will also “dovetail” nicely into any threat assessment model.

While others in our industry seek out police endorsements or advertise that they have or do work with law enforcement, we are comprised of current or past law enforcement professionals, and bring this experience and pedigree to all of our programs.
We stay current on everything we do, and we have documented evidence that our presentation positively changes internet behaviour. We are also very proud of the fact that our programs have intervened in the lives of many, especially in our grade school programs where students who were contemplating suicide or self-harm as an option because they were in crisis or being targeted by cyberbullying or sexting went wrong issues. These students heard our empathetic message, reached out to us for help, and in each and every case (often working with their school) we were able to get them the help that they needed.
Our programs are designed not only from extensive experience but also academic support. Members of The White Hatter Team come from a variety of backgrounds in formal post-secondary education and bring a breadth of knowledge with how technology impacts the world from each individual and society.
