Navigating Online Harms:  Knowledge is Power®  is a skills-based classroom module that helps students recognize and understand the real risks of viral online challenges and other digital harms. It builds critical thinking, strengthens refusal and peer-pressure resistance skills, and supports healthier decision-making. Fully scripted, adaptable to health and digital wellness curricula, and free of charge.

Complementing the student program, our parent workshop —Is Social Media Destroying Health & Families?— gives caregivers insight into online risks, warning signs, and practical strategies for talking with their children. This session strengthens home-school communication around sensitive topics like social media influence, while reinforcing student learning and expanding the parent toolkit for safer digital decision-making.

Erik’s Cause builds awareness by sharing advocacy resources and partnering with aligned organizations to highlight online harms and the risks of dangerous social media challenges. This work supports broader efforts to influence policy, raise public understanding, and create safer digital environments for kids—connecting community, education, and advocacy around online safety.

In addition to our program modules, we provide downloadable resources—including research, fact sheets, and educational guides—for educators, families, and young people.

These materials strengthen awareness of online risk behaviors and offer practical tools for prevention and early intervention.

Our resource hub also connects users to other organizations working to keep kids safe online.
