National Bullying Awareness Week

November 14 to the 20 is National Bullying Awareness Week. Albertans are being encouraged to "Stand Up and Stop Bullying." Too many children suffer physically,mentally and emotionally at the hands of bullies and we all have a role to play in ending bullying behaviours. Where to start? Help, advice, information can be found through the Bullying Helpline 1-888-456-2323 (24/7, toll free, multilingual). Website resources from the Alberta Government are available for a variety of age groups including children, teenagers and adults.
