Personal and Digital Wellness Videos
SHIELD and Libera have launched a suite of personal and digital wellness videos to equip children of all ages with critical safety information and resources. These videos present students with calming ways to address their anxiety; instruction on online and body safety, and resources on how to get help by text, phone, or finding a safe person. Be sure to check out the Online Safety for Middle and High School Students video, and SHIELD's full Personal and Digital Wellness Suite.
