Bullying Awareness Week (November 15 to 19, 2021) is the third week in November. It is a time to promote awareness and understanding of bullying and its impacts.

Bullying is a relationship problem that involves a power imbalance, which is why it can be so challenging to overcome it by ourselves. Regardless of where bullying happens – in school, the office, at home or in the community – there are people and resources that can help. 

Here are a few ways you can take part in Bullying Awareness Week:

• share bullying prevention resources on social media
• the Bullying Helpline (1-888-456-2323) is available 24/7 in over 170 languages
• start a discussion with your friends, family or coworkers about how to intervene
• write a letter or email to the editor of your local newspaper or radio station about the importance of promoting healthy relationships
