How Can Parents Support Their Children When Bullying Occurs?

WELCOME!

Do you know that approximately one third of the world’s youth will experience bullying during their childhood (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, 2018)? Bullying causes harmful physical and emotional effects for everyone involved including the victim, bully, and bystanders. Without proper support and guidance these negative effects can continue to plague individuals far into their adulthood.
