October is Bullying Prevention Month

-More than one out of every five students will be bullied this year, chances are this is happening to someone you know and care about.
-Bullying is a community-wide issue that must no longer be ignored or thought of as a rite of passage.
-Every child has the right to feel safe and supported. Every state has bullying prevention legislation and most schools have bullying prevention policies.

Just a reminder: See something? Say Something!

September may end, but su***de prevention continues all year. Keep checking in. Keep learning the warning signs. Keep sharing 988. Keep building communities where asking for help is met with care, not judgment. Together, we can support hope and connection.

If someone is in immediate danger or experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
