The Committee has begun a campaign aimed at raising awareness of violence and bullying in schools. Committee members are prepared to ask fellow students questions that will allow them to reflect on the effects of posting and sharing fight videos to other students on social media platforms.
You may also participate in this campaign by scanning the QR Code on the poster below and answering the short survey questions. Anti-Bullying and Violence Poster
As many youth experience mental health challenges, the Committee determined that it is important to provide fellow students with information on organizations that are able to help in a time of need. The Committee has created a Mental Health Resource flyer that consists of local resources and organizations available to youth in the community.
The Committee encourages you to contact any of the organizations on the poster below if you require assistance. Mental Health Resources Poster
