"Bullying: Child's Play or Violence and Cyber Bullying AND Keeping Kids Safe from the New Age Bully" Presented by Dr. Glenn Berry
Super 8 Motel, 2011 N. Kingshighway, Cape Girardeau

Instant messaging, text messaging, cell phones, internet, chat rooms—bullying is no longer confined to the playground. Advances in technology have created new avenues for those who prey upon others to take advantage of their vulnerability. Children who bully others can turn into antisocial adults and more likely than others to commit crimes, batter their spouses, abuse their children, and produce another generation of children who bully. This research based workshop provides information on the scope of the problem and what steps practitioners may take to identify and address the problem and intervention methods to redirect bullying behavior. You will be given hands on tools to build a comprehensive, proactive approach to reduce and even eliminate the problem of school bullying.

Learning Objectives:
Increase awareness of the bullying problem and how it relates to school violence
Define & recognize bullying; identify modern methods of bullying
Practice strategies for dealing with bullying
Contribute towards making the school environment more inviting for everyone
