NCPF is creating resiliency in our Community......... 
"This program has given me my first real understanding of how to make the environment of my classroom as a future teacher respectful and bully free.  I can take what I learned today and spread this knowledge to my colleagues. This was a great experience." participant comment from the Back Off Bully Conference
 
"Kids are now aware of the concept of bullying and becoming more active to stop it," said fifth-grade teacher Heather Cook.

"I think kids get under pressure maybe at home and then feel like they need to be mean because it gets them attention and respect," said Amir, 9. "I've been bullied, and I have bullied, which I now feel bad about."

We need help from our supporters to continue our work!
