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.

    Hello,

    Thank you for this important and timely post.

    As a parent, educator and the founder of the annual National Bullying Awareness Week, I would like to share four Websites I have created that seek to prevent bullying through education and awareness. I hope that they may be of help, information and support to others.

    The world's most visited and referenced Website about bullying

    http://www.cyberbullying.org
    The world's first Website about cyberbullying

    http://www.bullyingawarenessweek.org
    The official Website of the annual Bullying Awareness Week

    http://www.bullyingcourse.com
    Offering research-based, Moodle-supported online courses and Webinars about bullying and cyberbullying for educators and parents.

    Here is some information about my background as it relates to this issue:
