Webinar | Bullying Prevention and Intervention: What do we know and where do we need to go?

What do we know about bullying prevention and intervention? And how can we leverage technology and the voices of youth themselves to make prevention and intervention more effective?

Join Making Caring Common, Facing History and Ourselves, and The Choose Kindness Project for an interactive discussion with renowned bullying prevention and intervention expert, Dr. Dorothy Espelage. Dr. Espelage will discuss two decades of research and practice on bullying, including identity-based bullying and school and home-based prevention strategies. She also will highlight innovations in prevention and intervention, including youth-led campaigns and technology-based solutions.

Dr. Espelage’s talk will be followed by a panel discussion with youth and a Q&A from the audience. We encourage parents and caregivers, educators, and youth to attend!
