Szn 3: Bullying Prevention Intro

Szn 3: Bullying Prevention Intro Episode 1 We are back and LIVE (semi-live) with the BobCast! October was first declared as National Bullying Prevention Month in 2006. Since then, October has been a time to acknowledge that bullying has devastating effects on children and families such as school avoidance, loss of self-esteem, increased anxiety, and depression. Bullying can occur in multiple ways. CharacterSTRONG: Bullying prevention, along with addressing student behavior, chronic absenteeism, and mental health, remains a top priority for educators across the country. At CharacterStrong, we've been listening and have developed a proactive approach to equip students with the necessary social-emotional skills to foster a positive and inclusive school environment.  Our proactive strategy involves integrating social-emotional skills like empathy, respect, and conflict resolution into the curriculum. By explicitly teaching and practicing these skills, schools can create a foundation for a positive environment.
