Who do I Contact for Help?

There is help available for people suffering from Internet addiction disorder.

If you feel your child is spending too much time on the Internet, discuss the issue with them and create a family Internet safety plan to help monitor and modify this behaviour.

Discussing the problem with teachers and other adults is also a good idea, as it will help you gain an overall view of your children's internet usage.

As well as this, professionals such as clinical psychologists, can help children identity problem behaviours and learn coping skills to deal with them.
