Anti-Bullying

February 22nd is Pink Shirt Day where we can raise awareness of this issue that impacts our schools, homes, online, and workplaces.

Bullying is a form of aggression where there is a power imbalance; the person doing the bullying has power over the person being victimized. In addition to any physical trauma incurred, bullying can result in serious emotional problems, including anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression.

With one in five students affected by bullying, chances are that you or a loved one is being impacted. If you’re not sure what to do, reach out to someone who can help. And remember, kindness and compassion can go a long way.

If you’re being bullied, bullying someone else, or see a friend who is being bullied, take a look at the below resources.
