UNITY Webinar:
Beyond the Campus—Bullying Prevention in the Community
Thursday, September 8, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Bullying can follow a young person off campus and into the neighborhood, so efforts to prevent bullying are more successful when they extend beyond the school and include the larger community. This webinar will introduce school-based bullying prevention principles and present options for incorporating bullying prevention at parks, faith-based settings, health clinics, neighborhoods, Boys and Girls Clubs and YMCAs, and other settings.

Join us to learn the main components of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, which is recognized as an effective model. The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program improves the school and classroom social climate, and has demonstrated substantial reductions in reports of bullying and victimization, vandalism, fighting, theft and truancy. Part of the success of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program is its engagement of the broader community. This webinar will share local examples where this approach has paid off.

Everyone can play a role to ensure that each child is cared for and feels safe. Register for this webinar to learn about initiatives where preventing bullying is a community-wide effort, not just a school effort.
