Description

Bullying is an ongoing issue: not only here in the United States, but all over the world. It can take place in various ways, at various kinds of institutions, with some of the most prevalent places where it manifests being schools and the workplace. For many years, bullying has been a taboo subject that many try to avoid confronting, which can result in many suffering from the harmful effects of bullying in silence. Also, it not only impacts the victim themselves, but it also impacts their loved ones. It has a domino effect. Through a mixture of an evidence-based lens and a lens from personal experience, this presentation will discuss the importance of breaking the taboo, will reveal the negative and harmful compounding impacts that bullying has on an individual and their loved ones, and discuss five productive and innovative ways to take initiative to bring an end to bullying and to sustain an anti-bullying environment
