October is Bullying Prevention. Throughout this month schools, families, organizations and community members come together to share stories and draw awareness to the issues surrounding bullying. The purpose of this campaign is to increase collaboration among all stakeholders with the shared goal of ending bullying, in all of its forms. This is done by increasing awareness of what bullying is, its prevalence in our schools and communities and the impacts that it can have on those effected.
