  • Here4TN WorkLife Service: Bullying

    Bullying: Get the facts to help your child or any child

    School is officially back in session! And too many children experience bullying, too often. Adults can help prevent this by talking openly about bullying and responding quickly if it happens. This sends the message that bullying is not acceptable. There are a lot of myths about bullying that may hurt our children and get in the way of change. Bullying is an epidemic in the U.S., so you should never feel like you’re alone in dealing with it. Please remember that we’re here to support you, as you do everything you can to support your child.

    For more ideas and suggestions, or if you need to talk to someone right now, call 855-Here4TN (855-437-3486).
