Psychological Help in the Internet Environment: Safety Principles

4

Abstract

In today's world, the Internet space has become part of everyday reality - children, teenagers and adults communicate using Internet technologies, immerse themselves in information content, study or work using the resources of the virtual environment. The banalisation of the Internet has led to serious transformations in everyday life practices. We can say that people now live in a mixed reality where offline and online are closely intertwined. But where there are benefits, positive opportunities and resources, there are also risks, challenges and threats. This has led to the notion of security being considered in different aspects of the use of online environments and internet communications. Digital security, information security, cyber security and its other manifestations most often involve the technical side. However, the issue of psychological aspects of safety on the Internet and, in particular, the principles of safety of psychological care in the online space is acute. Thus, there is a need to identify and describe these principles, to outline the problem of psychological help in situations of Internet risks taking into account the criteria of safety. This context should be taken into account in the process of developing technologies and algorithms of psychological assistance to minors in the Internet environment.
