Today on Brainwaves, we talk to the head of clinical practice at Headspace National, Vicky Rile about cyber bullying.  To help prevent online bullying, Headspace has partnered with Reword to support the creation of a tool that identifies insulting words and statements, by putting a line through the word, making users reconsider what they're writing. The National Children's and Youth Law Centre estimates that over 450,000 Australian children were victims of cyber bullying in 2013.
