Digital well-being, mental health, and more
Our policies, restrictions, and library of built-in tools and protections are designed to help keep our users safe and healthy online. We cannot prevent all problematic content from appearing on Roblox, and we also know that online well-being goes beyond tools and restrictions. We encourage you to have open conversations with your kids about how to spot bad actors, how to report or block users who are violating our Community Standards, and how to interact with other users in healthy ways. This helps us create a safer experience online.
