NW Arkansas Community Parent Resource Center is rallying our community to participate in Anti-Bullying Awareness Month this Year for the month of October as well as Unity Day on October 19th. This is our official request to you all to participate with us!
Although only 10 U.S. studies have been conducted on the connection between bullying and developmental disabilities, all of these studies found that children with disabilities were two to three times more likely to be bullied than their nondisabled peers. National Bullying Prevention Month is a nationwide campaign founded in 2006 by PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center. The campaign is held during the month of October and unites communities around the world to educate and raise awareness of bullying prevention. Over the past 10 years, this campaign grew from a small week-long event to a worldwide effort with multiple activities throughout October. National Bullying Prevention Month is supported by hundreds of schools, major corporations, and celebrities.
Be a part of this exciting anniversary and spread the message: The End of Bullying Begins With Me! You can do this in a few important ways this month:
