Are you worried about protecting your child from being bullied? If your child was being bullied, would you know what to do? If you’ve experienced bullying as a child or an adult, then you know how frightening and life destroying it can be.

As a parent, you want to do everything you can to protect your children from bullying so they never have to experience that horrible feeling of being picked on, laughed at, excluded or physically harmed.

In this webinar parents and carers learn how to help children develop the skills they need to be bully-proof.

Webinar includes

  • What bullying is and what it isn’t
  • The prevalence of bullying and its many harms
  • Why your child might not tell you they’re being bullied or that they are a bully
  • Practical approaches for parents to help their children overcome bullying
  • Empowering your child with life skills so they become “bully-proof”
  • Question and answer session

By attending this session parents and carers will further their education and awareness of the potential harms of bullying and how to support their children to be bully-proof.

Throughout the 12-month programme you will

  • Receive practical strategies on supporting family wellbeing and managing day-to-day parenting challenges on a range of common issues
  • Learn about research findings on wellbeing, parenting and child development;
  • Enjoy tips to better manage work and family - develop your confidence and skills as a parent so you can reduce family stress and be more focused and productive at work.
