The project strengthened schools' capacity to address cyberbullying and promote adolescent mental well-being by training teachers and developing a context-specific educational resource. In collaboration with cyber safety experts and psychologists, the project created a comprehensive training manual and conducted a two-day capacity-building workshop for teachers. By equipping educators with knowledge and practical strategies, the initiative enabled schools to raise awareness among students and foster safer digital environments.

• Trained approximately 20 teachers from 11 schools in Bhopal. 

• Developed a context-specific training manual on cyberbullying and adolescent mental health. 

• Increased teachers' awareness and confidence in addressing online harassment and supporting students. 

• Approximately 1,000 students received awareness through sessions conducted by trained teachers. 

• Created a scalable school-based model for promoting digital safety and mental well-being.
