Bullying Resources

Bullying is a form of violence exposure that affects children in school, at home, and in the community. It is a pervasive form of violence that harms not just the children directly affected but those who are witness to it as well. The long-term consequences of bullying can last well beyond adolescence into adulthood. In order to combat these affects, raise awareness, and support prevention efforts to help protect children against bullying, the Safe Start Center would like to share the following information and resources about the issue.
