Bullies 2 Buddies

In today's podcast of Mental Health in the News, the S'eclairer staff talks to noted Bullying Expert Israel C. Kalman, author of Bullies 2 Buddies. "Izzy" developed a program to address bullying from a unique perspective -- to change the behavior of the 'victim' rather than trying to change the behavior of the bully. Recently a school psychologist in Nebraska sent home a list of "rules" for how to NOT be bullied, and when some parents responded negatively, Izzy and his program became the object of bullying by the press and social media. Medical Director Dr. Safdar Chaudhary, media consultant Sven Hosford, and Intern Jill Gross question Izzy on his program, the controversy, and what finally happened after he was bullied.
