ABSTRACT
This chapter describes one pioneering model used at "University A" in Japan to detect and tackle cyberbullying among university students. This is a research-based, structured model, designed to support students using a widespread peer-support scheme, specially designed courses and seminars, testing for potential problems, and counselling. At the first level of support, University A incorporates peer support programs into its academic programs. Internet morality education course provides tips and guidance on preventive measures against cyberbullying. Cyberbullying causes distress. The second level of support is founded upon the idea that the university supports students as a team. Specifically, it seeks to ensure that faculty, typically seen as merely academic advisors and lecturers to students, attend to the psychological needs of their students. As the third level of support, the Counselling Room for Students assists students with mental health problems, offering guidance and care in consultation with hospitals.
