 Anti-Bullying through Art is a program to empower students and staff through the arts, a holistic and peer-led approach by engaging to look at bullying seriously and delivering positive outcomes.  Bullying is an unhealthy situation for all parties involved. Mentally and physically, it can create long term negative effects.   

 Our program is to create emotionally and healthy relationships not only for children but for staff too offline, online, in schools, and in the community.  Empathy and understanding of individual feelings is a must. We want to see a development of resolutions and fresh approaches when dealing with unjust behavior toward others. 

This fictionalized story is based on Educator Jane Elliott classroom exercise in which she wanted to teach her students about the Civil Rights Movement and the effects of racism the day after Dr. Martin Luther King was shot.

Bullying online and offline is on the rise. No child should be hurt mentally or physically by peers or their community. Parents must acknowledge if there child is a bully.  Ask them if they are a bully.  If so, nip it! Children with bully behavior can stop and get help.
