Teach Children That Asking for Help Is Courage
Children should know they never have to face difficult situations alone.
Encourage them to speak with trusted adults, including:
Speaking up is not tattling when someone's emotional or physical safety is at risk.
It is courage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my child is being bullied?
Look for sudden changes in behavior, declining grades, avoiding school, withdrawing from friends, frequent complaints of illness, or noticeable changes in mood. Children often communicate distress through actions before they find the words to explain what they're experiencing.
Can bullying cause anxiety or depression?
Yes. Bullying can contribute to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, social isolation, and emotional trauma. Early support from trusted adults and mental health professionals can greatly improve outcomes.
Who should my child talk to if they feel unsafe?
Encourage your child to speak with a parent, grandparent, teacher, school guidance counselor, coach, or another trusted adult. The most important message is that they do not have to face these challenges alone.
When should I seek professional counseling?
If your child experiences persistent sadness, excessive fear, panic attacks, sleep disturbances, withdrawal from activities they once enjoyed, or talks about hurting themselves, seek help from a licensed mental health professional as soon as possible.
