Free Evening Workshop on Bullying

Please join MOC Community Partnerships as we have popular speaker and behavior consultant Jeanine Fitzgerald back again for part two of her workshop on bullying:

Breaking the Code of Silence

Free Evening Workshop

Bullying behaviors are at epidemic proportions. Over 160,000 children miss attending school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by a peer. Last fall we learned many of the dynamics that are involved in bullying, and some ways to intervene to keep children safe. Now we will continue to learn how to address issues of bullying in order to make a real difference.
