Abstract

" Objective - Cyberbullying among adolescents poses severe mental health risks, highlighting the need for innovative digital interventions. This study introduced CyberAware 1.0, a digital platform developed through a user-centered design approach to address cyberbullying and to provide comprehensive mental health support. Methodology/Technique - The platform integrates interactive quizzes, educational videos, informative posters, helpline resources, and a live chat feature to deliver real-time support and awareness. Findings - Preliminary pilot testing, which involved 247 adolescents from Sabah and Sarawak, revealed that 25.9% had experienced cyberbullying, with moderate levels of depression (26%), anxiety (19%), and stress (17%) reported. Novelty - CyberAware 1.0 demonstrated a promising potential as a digital innovation for promoting adolescent mental well-being and resilience against cyberbullying. Future research will focus on validating its effectiveness and expanding its implementation. Type of Paper - Empirical"
