On-demand webinar details

One in three students are bullied at school (UNESCO, 2022). 

Unfortunately, schools may not fully understand the extent of the problem or manage it when it occurs, contributing to 4/5 of school bullying programs failing worldwide. 

Sadly, the Covid-19 Pandemic has made school a more challenging place for students, it has impacted on their developmental stages and is creating greater problems of social isolation and loneliness. 

This webinar is designed to explain why bullying is so bad for everyone, the target, bully and bystanders, as well as the physical, psychological social, cognitive and brain injuries, caused by school bullying. 

It will enable you to understand and help students manage bullying when it occurs, deal with the trauma it may inflict and help them learn simple bully blocking strategies to help them prevent future bullying at school, home or work. This session will also include a brief discussion of “Harry the Bully Blocker” a wonderful evidence based therapy poem for helping students learn the basic bully blocking skills. During the webinar you will obtain an outline of;

  • School bullying and the four main bullying types. 
  • Potential causes and why bullying is so harmful.
  • Some physical, psychological, cognitive and social injuries caused by bullying, especially neurobiological. 
  • The impact of bullying on the student, now and later.
  • Diagnostic guidelines.
  • Three basic therapies, guidelines and suggestions. 
  • “Harry the bully blocker” a simple, evidence-based tool.
