Bullying in schools is a worldwide problem that can have serious negative consequences for the general school climate and for the right students to learn in a safe environment without fear. Bullying can also have negative lifelong consequences--both for students who bully and for their victims.

Cyberbullying is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeting by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones.

When Gangs exist in a community, they can seriously impact schools, using them as recruitment centers and claiming them as gang territory. A report issued by the U.S. Department of Education and Justice found that the percentage of students reporting gangs at school nearly tripled between 2001 and 2005. This report also found a strong correlation between the presence of gangs and both guns and drugs on school campuses.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death in individuals between the ages of 10 and 19 in the United States.
These are serious topics none of us want to admit could happen in our schools, our community, or our families. But they do. Join us for this two-day event to explore how we can work together as educators, parents, and professionals to be informed, learn prevention methods and most importantly how to talk to our kids about these issues so that we can create Safe Schools and a Safe Community for them to grow up in.
