Places You Can Find Help If You Are Being Bullied
On Pink Shirt Day, and every day, Easter Seals stands up for anti-bullying. Throughout our programming and services we strive to put inclusion and acceptance at the forefront of our work, creating meaningful and vibrant experiences for everyone.
No matter the cause, bullying is always harmful, unwanted and never ok. For bullied kids, it can be hard to know where to turn. Showing kindness, empathy and understanding can really make a difference in someone’s life.
