OCTOBER IS NATIONAL BULLYING PREVENTION MONTH
LET’S PUT AN END TO BULLYING & CYBERBULLYING
Labeling acts of bullying as “kids just being kids” is easy. But, the long-lasting trauma and years of physical, mental and emotional effects unfortunately aren’t so ‘easy’ to overcome. It’s time to face it. Promising protection to children includes preventing and addressing bullying. This National Bullying Prevention Month let’s act on our promise to be the voice for children by getting educated and making an impact.
We have what it takes to build brighter futures – let’s act on it!
Share Your Story!
Are you a bullying survivor? Have your children struggled with cyberbullying? Were you a witness who took action? We want to hear your story. Calling attention to the negative widespread impact of bullying and cyberbullying can only be done if we raise our voices and take a stand together. Help us raise awareness this month by sharing your story!
Your story may be shared with our community in the future or as part of Unity Day on October 20th.
