How you can help


"Take it seriously," says Barb Veder, Shepell�fgi's Clinical Director of Regional Clinical Services. "Doing so has a big impact on your child's self-worth and identity. Talk to your child about what is bullying behaviour. Reassure them that if they ever see this behaviour there are ways to get help. Build their skills and confidence through planning and role playing to help them manage bullying situations."
