Anti-Bullying Seminar to be Offered in September


The seminar "Defeating Bullies" will be presented on Wednesday September 26, 2012 from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm at the Early Childhood Resource Center, 1718 Cleveland Ave SW in Canton.  This 6-hour intermediate-level highly interactive course will help counselors, therapists, social workers, and parents learn how to identify and react decisively to bullying, both with bullies and with victims.  Preventive strategies are presented, as are interventions and survival tips.

By the end of the course, each participant will be able to:
·        Identify the key elements of bullying and distinguish it from teasing.
·        Identify intervention strategies that can be used in dealing with bullies and with victims.
·        Describe how LGBTQ persons and the disabled are especially susceptible to bullying.
·        Explain prevention strategies for cyber-bullying.
·        Define sexual bullying and distinguish it from flirting and sexting.

Continuing education credits are available for professional counselors, social workers, and marriage / family therapists.

Participants may reserve a spot or get further information by calling 330-705-0938 or sending an e-mail to bphilley@neo.rr.com.  Cost for the seminar is $60, with a $10 discount available for early registration prior to September 12th.
