Why Your Child May Be Bullied + What You Can Do About It

Your child may be good at what they do. Your child may be intelligent, determined and creative. Your child may have personal vulnerabilities. Your child may have few or no friends. Your child may be popular or well liked. Your child may have physical features that attract attention. Your child have an illness or disability. Your child may have a different sexual orientation. Your child may have different religious or cultural beliefs. Your child may belong to a different racial group.

If you think your child is a bully - come to this workshop. If you think your child is being bullied - come to this workshop. If you think your child is standing on the sidelines watching others being bullied - come to this workshop.
