Preventing Online Harm with Guest Speaker Carol Todd
Carol Todd has impacted the world as an educator, an advocate, parent and leader for social action in speaking openly about bullying, cyberbullying, exploitation and the mental health challenges that her daughter Amanda went through. In 2012, Carol’s daughter Amanda took her own life at the age of 15, following the posting of a YouTube video that detailed the exploitation via an international predator and severe harassment, both by peers and online, that she endured.
From this place of tragedy, Carol has found that by sharing Amanda’s story, she could help others. In memory of her daughter, Carol founded the Amanda Todd Legacy Society to create further awareness surrounding these important issues that many young people are facing around the world. She currently speaks internationally about her experience, as well as her daughter’s struggles with bullying, cyber abuse, online victimization and mental health, to empower youth and adults with strategies and resources to address these social issues.
On April 19th, Primary Prevention will be hosting Carol at Kahnawà:ke Survival School, where she will share her story and explore practical ways we can protect and educate youth on staying safe in an increasingly online world. The event will take place from 5 - 7:00 pm.
“Making a difference by sharing Amanda’s tragic story is important to me as her mother and encourages me, through her voice, to prevent others from going through what Amanda did.” Carol has become a voice of global change and advocacy and is driven by her passion and leadership to change the mindset behind negative behaviours and the challenging barriers of stigma by sharing Amanda’s story.
