The initiative was inspired by Inessa Lee’s own experience with persistent online stalking.
The Institute for Education, Research & Scholarships (IFERS), in collaboration with singer and anti-bullying advocate Inessa Lee, has launched a free AI-powered Anti-Bullying Counselor designed to support individuals facing harassment, bullying, and online abuse.
Built as a customized ChatGPT-based tool, the AI counselor offers both practical guidance and emotional support. Users can access step-by-step advice on how to recognize, document, and report harassment, while also receiving coping strategies to manage stress and emotional distress.
The initiative was inspired by Inessa Lee’s own experience with persistent online stalking. Transforming personal adversity into advocacy, she expanded her long-standing anti-bullying efforts through technology. Previously, Inessa gained global attention with her viral flash mob campaign “Love Gun for Peace,” a social movement inspired by her song “Love Gun.” The track exceeded 2.5 million streams on Spotify and topped UK club charts, reinforcing her message of resilience and peace.
