- About Bullying
About Bullying, part of the 15+ Make Time to Listen& Take Time to Talk initiative, provides parents and caregivers with information about bullying and methods for communicating with children about the climate of fear created by bullying. The messages exchanged between children and their caregivers in just 15 minutes or more a day can be instrumental in building a healthier and safer environment for children.
- Bully Beware
Bullying is one of the most underrated and enduring problems in schools today and is a reality in the lives of all children, whether they are bullies, victims or witnesses. Teachers, students, support staff, parents and administrators need to work as a team to take action against bullying.
- SAVE
The National Association of Students Against Violence Everywhere (S.AV.E.) is a national nonprofit organization that assists students in starting and operating S.A.V.E. chapters across the country. The mission of S.A.V.E. is to promote the meaningful involvement of students in providing safer environments for learning. S.A.V.E. strives to decrease the potential for violence in our schools and communities by connecting students to safety efforts. The key to S.A.V.E. is that it is student initiated-started by students for students. Started in 1989 by a group of students after a violent incident that left one of their classmates dead, S.AV.E. has spread from coast to coast with 1500 chapters in 44 states involving over 167,000 students.
