Help Prevent Verbal Abuse, Emotional Abuse,
Physical Abuse, Bullying and Related Tragedies
Do you suspect that someone you know is being bullied or abused?
By whom?

Another student... Teacher... Relative... Employer... Co-worker?

What are you doing to help?
A Note To Professionals:

SAVING CHILDREN and FAMILIES
-- and SCHOOL PROFESSIONALS

No longer limited to restroom walls, school
locker rooms, and tumultuous
home-settings, verbal abuse now pervades
web-sites and chat rooms in cyber-space.

Like "verbal bacteria", degrading remarks
quickly spread to infect and ravage many of
today's school-aged children.

In addition, as the scarred survivors of past
verbal abuse finish their career training and
enter our ranks, teachers and other
professionals increasingly are at greater risk
for being crippled by the caustic comments
of their own colleagues than from
confrontations with clients or students.

Unfortunately, the human resource
(security) and litigation costs required to
address the growing incidence of such abuse
in the workplace have begun to financially
overwhelm many employers.

In order to be effective, proposed bullying
intervention programs must recognize the
underlying pathology of verbal abuse
and appreciate the importance of
primary prevention strategies.
