October Is Bullying Prevention Month
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. This time calls to end bullying, promote kindness and acceptance, and unite for inclusion. Join us in ending bullying and changing our culture.
Resources & Getting Involved
“Allowing students to be involved in bullying prevention efforts has a great impact. Students feel empowered by being directly involved in analyzing bullying issues, creating ideas to help solve the problem, and enact creative solutions. Student-led bullying prevention initiatives give students self-efficacy and a sense of agency with leadership.” – PACER.
See below for some important resources and ways that you can show your support:
- Take advantage of Visions’ Counseling services and mental health supports.
- Wear and share orange on Unity Day, October 16.
- Share information with your peers and community.
- 1 out of every 5 students report being bullied – take the pledge to treat others with kindness, care, and respect.
