What types of programs are available to teach students, teachers and parents about bullying?
Student Assistant Program staff are constantly supplying counselors and principals with materials to combat destructive behavior. Recent additions include “The Bully-Free Classroom,” “Please Don’t Laugh at Me,” and “Here’s Looking at You,” a kit of information on social skills and negotiation skills. In addition, a video resource library on the subject is available. STOP teams, (Students Teaching Others Peace), are being formed in several schools. Parents are encouraged to look at these books and programs and to discuss any problems they might be aware of with the school counselor and/or principal. The Student Assistance Programs staff is available to present staff development on bullying for schools and parents.
