Preventing Child Bullying in Schools and in the Community - Jupiter Campus

Dr. Susan Limber is the Dan Olweus Distinguished Professor at Clemson University and a national leader in efforts to prevent bullying. She is one of the key developers of the National Bullying Prevention Campaign, aimed at “tweens” or children between the ages of 9 and 13. This is the key age for preventing bullying.

Dr. Limber will address the impact of bullying on both the targeted children and the bullies themselves, with a special emphasis on vulnerable populations such as children with autism and other disabilities. She will also describe the Olweus Program, the most widely used and effective evidence based anti-bullying program in the world. This program targets multiple systems calling for school and community wide efforts to combat bullying.

Registration is required.

Please note that registration will end on Tuesday, November 15, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. but you can come the day of the event and register at the door.
