New grade 6–12 lessons empower students to build healthy online habits and stay safe in a digital world

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, December 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Peekapak, an award winning K12 wellbeing education company, announced the launch of its Digital Wellbeing curriculum, a suite of lessons designed to support schools in addressing rising concerns around screen addiction, cyberbullying, online safety, and student mental health.

With students spending more time online than ever before, schools are increasingly responsible for teaching digital citizenship, screen-time balance, and safe online behaviour.

“Schools are asking for concrete tools to protect students’ mental health in online spaces,” said Ami Shah, Co-Founder and CEO of Peekapak. “Our Digital Wellbeing lessons give educators a proactive way to build healthy online habits, prevent cyberbullying, and support resilience before harm occurs.”
