We are proud to announce that we have joined forces with Liverpool Football Club captain and England player, Jordan Henderson, to launch a powerful new anti-cyberbullying campaign designed to raise awareness of the impact of online abuse while providing direct access to our education and support resources.
Launching today, the "People Not Profiles" campaign will see Jordan hand over total control of his social media channels to our team, who will feature a series of first-hand accounts and examples of cyberbullying as well as powerful insights into the various ways that internet users can be affected by the problem.
The campaign will see a number of posts shared across multiple social media platforms submitted for inclusion by the general public, as well as contributions from Jordan Henderson and a number of other high-profile athletes across a range of demographics.
Everybody at Cybersmile is honored to be working alongside Jordan on this important campaign, designed to serve as a reminder that behind social media profiles there are real people with real feelings. By effectively utilizing Jordan's powerful platform, we will be reaching millions of people with behavior-changing insights into the effects that cyberbullying and online abuse have on people's lives, as well as offering potentially life-saving access to crucial advice and support services.

In addition to raising awareness of the devastating impact that online abuse and cyberbullying can have, the campaign will also reach millions of people across our combined social media channels, providing internet users with direct access to our free education program and information relating to support services.
Interactive educational modules will be promoted throughout the campaign and will include engaging learning opportunities on topics such as Using Instagram's Safety Tools, Positive Gaming, Digital Civility, Online Safety, and many more.
I partnered with Cybersmile for the People Not Profiles campaign because the problem of online abuse is continuing to destroy lives every day. It has been great working with Cybersmile to address such an important issue and it is my hope that this campaign raises awareness of how seriously online abuse can affect people and also lets people know there is help and support available to them.

The campaign will run for a number of weeks and will be featured across our Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter accounts, highlighting content to raise awareness of the severity of the issue while providing support and education options to millions of people online.
