bullying prevention resources

[Leslie Hergert]

Hello,

While the discussion to date has focused on funding, I thought people 
might be interested in some free resources.  See 
www.stopbullyingnow.hrsa.gov which is aimed at "tweens" (kids from 9 or 10 
--to 12) and includes resources for kids, e.g. "webisodes" of cartoon 
characters that will change every few weeks and other stuff. The site for 
adults includes PR materials and substantive resources such as short 
handouts on a wide range of useful topics and programs.

One featured program is the MetLife Foundation Read for Health Program, 
which  is now available for purchase from EDC.  It is a literacy-based 
curriculum and parent video on bullying for middle grades kids in school 
and for book clubs after school.

Hope this is helpful--

Leslie Hergert
