The workshop will focus on identifying and responding to bullying behavior. Young people experience bullying in school, but also while involved in extracurricular activities and through social media and other avenues of cyberbullying. How can the adults identify when bullying occurs, and act appropriately? How can organizations and classrooms meet governmental mandates and best practices to have anti-bullying policies in place?
Presenters: Sheri Tripepi, University of Toledo lecturer with a focus on social work and anti-violence, and Rob Salem, University of Toledo Clinical Professor, College of Law.
