Positive Solutions Bullying Resilience Program Summary
Bullying in schools is a fact and a measure of growing community concern. Due to the short, medium and long term negative consequences of school bullying and the increasing risk of legal consequences, schools require the implementation of a comprehensive and practical strategy to curtail the onset of bullying through actively engaging students, teachers, parents and broader community alike.
The Positive Solutions Bullying Resilience Program was rolled out in August 2010 and to date 26 presentations in schools across a range of years have been successfully completed. Evaluation material shows the program is being accepted by young people and that it is having an impact on approach and attitude towards bullying. The program summary is published on our website now and available to read here. We are now taking bookings for this innovative new program for 2011. Please call us on 02 9542 4029 or email : team@enoughisenough.org.au
