Youth NCDII: A guide for schools
When an incident of youth non-consensual distribution of intimate images (NCDII) occurs, schools are often one of the first places where youth and families go to for help, regardless of whether the incident may have occurred at school, at home, or across multiple settings.
Youth NCDII: A Guide for Schools helps school personnel respond to incidents of youth NCDII. This guidebook explores considerations for schools to take when developing a standardized response that prioritizes the safety, dignity, and well-being of the student involved.
Recognizing that involved youth and their families may need more support during an incident of NCDII, this guide also provides important information for both parents of youth who have been victimized and parents of youth who have acted out by sharing images.
