Chester Community CS recently issued the following announcement.
Worried your child is being bullied or teased at school? Unsure of how to help? Join us for some practical advice during this interactive, discussion-based training with useful handouts and checklists to help to keep your child safe at home, at school, and online.
This program will address the challenges of talking to your children about bullying and teasing behavior that occurs in school, with friends, and online. Dr. Brian Van Brunt will share with parents the warning signs to look for, how to talk about these issues with their children, and the importance of understanding how a variety of factors such as race, poverty, religious background, language skills, cognitive ability, gender, sexual orientation, appearance, and weight may make children targets for teasing and bullying. This interactive program will draw from parents’ experiences to ensure the conversation is two-sided and we all are able to learn from each other’s experiences.
• Learn signs and symptoms of bullying and teasing common at school and how these may also occur in the online environment.
• Receive practical advice on how to build culturally competent resiliency and protective factors to help protect your children from the impact of bullying and teasing.
• Review what to look for and how to respond when bullying and teasing occurs and increases the risk of self-harm or suicidal behaviors.
• Receive handouts, checklists, and online resources to respond to problems you may encounter that will help them move more quickly to find a solution.
Everyone who attends will be entered into a raffle for a $50 gift card!
The program will be offered live over Zoom on Wednesday, March 30th from 6-7:30pm.
