Bullying Education Program

Many years of research have shown that bullying in our schools and in our society is a much more damaging and dangerous experience for children than we ever suspected. Unfortunately, it's also much more widespread and is occurring at an earlier age than ever before. This program will help parents have a clear grasp of the prevalence and impact of bullying in their school and community, identify common signs that their child may be a victim or perpetrator of bullying and provide a clear, concise strategy for talking to their child about bullying.
