Knowledge is power.
And during National Bullying Prevention Month this October, we have a chance to turn awareness into action. It's not just about recognizing the problem, it's about stepping up with the right tools and resources to make a difference.
Imagine our schools where every child feels safe, respected, and valued. Where fear has no place in the classroom or on the playground. That’s the kind of environment we can create together.
This month, we’re sharing valuable resources—guides for parents, tips for teachers, and strategies for students—so that we can all work together to put an end to bullying.
Because when we know better, we can do better.
Every small step counts toward making schools a place where every child can learn and grow without fear.
