School Counselors in Training: Bullying Prevention Week: October 4-10

It's coming up folks! While the whole month of October is technically bully prevention month, bully prevention week is usually celebrated during the first week of October-- this year October 4th through 10th. The PACER Center has put together a number of resources that counselors can use to infuse their school with anti-bullying preventative messages. Check it out here: http://www.pacer.org/bullying/bpam/index.asp.

There are obviously many other bullying resources available in publications and online. You may want to take this time to start becoming familiar with them as Bully Prevention week and month come closer. Think about ways that you can start infusing bully prevention into your everyday work with all the students you encounter. We may be just interns, but this is something we can always be considering!
