Certified Digital Safety Educator
Equip Your Community. Protect the Next Generation. Prevent Human Trafficking.
The internet is now the front line of exploitation, manipulation, and human trafficking.
And most parents, educators, and youth mentors are unprepared to navigate it.
94% of teens use social media daily, increasing their exposure to harmful content.
89% of child sexual exploitation cases originate in private chatrooms.
Digital safety isn’t optional — it’s essential.
That’s why we created the Certified Digital Safety Educator (CDSE) program—an evidenced-based training that empowers professionals to teach youth, parents, and communities how to navigate digital spaces safely and responsibly by utilizing The Exodus Road’s InfluencedTM program.
What makes this training one-of-a-kind?
This comprehensive certification provides the latest research-backed strategies, expert-led instruction, holistic approach, modern visuals and real-world applications for teaching digital wellness and protecting teens from exploitation and human trafficking.
