Working to Solve the Bullying Epidemic

From the school shootings at Virginia Tech to teen suicides across the country, bullying remains a pressing issue in today's world. Even worse is the fact that—due to the popularity of social media and the internet—kids are now being bulling in their own homes. While acts of bulling are unconscionable, they can also been used as an opportunity to facilitate open dialogue about bullying. It is only with active discussions and policy changes that this behavioral epidemic will finally be put to rest.

To help enact change, APB offers a wide range of speakers on bullying, including author and bullying expert Rosalind Wiseman, psychologist and expert on school crises Scott Poland, New York Times best-selling author Rachel Simmons, and renowned psychologist William Pollack. Covering topics from cyber-bulling to child development, each of these speakers offers a way to help increase self-esteem, encourage communication, and help target the root of bullying.
