Concerned about how to take action and what to expect if you report your child/teen is a target, bystander or a perpetrator of bullying ? This presentation is for you

When: Thursday, 20 February 2020 at 7:00 PM
Where: 1580 West Broadway - Vancouver, BC V6J 5K9 - Canada

Register here if you would like to attend


Facilitator: Paula Temrick, DPAC Executive Member
Speakers’ Panel: Mozhdah and Nasrin Jamalzadah, VSB District + School Staff

Concerned about how to take action and what to expect if you report your child/teen is a target, bystander or a perpetrator of bullying or harassment at school?
Are you:
  • Doubting Your Concern – ‘Maybe it’s not serious enough to report’;
  • Hesitant - ‘What if I’m not taken seriously’;
  • Anxious - ‘If the perpetrator(s) find out, my child will get bullied even more;
  • Afraid -‘I think my child/teen is a perpetrator but I don’t dare tell the school.’
  • Nervous -‘If I say anything my teen will be furious and never tell me anything again’;
  • Worried - ‘But If I do nothing my child may be seriously traumatized.’;
  • Discouraged - ‘Why bother? Last time I reported no one at school even thought to follow up with me.’
This program will address these concerns in a panel presentation and discussion with participants. Information and strategies shared will help build parents’ confidence, knowledge and ability to:
  • Be a Supportive Parent – how to connect - listen, talk and problem-solve with your child/teen
  • Understand and Assess what is happening and when you need to speak-up or seek out an advocate
  • Document – what is most important to write up and bring to your school’s attention
  • Meet With School Staff – who to talk to, how to approach, what to say, questions to ask, follow-up
  • Find Out About Intervention - how school staff plan to investigate, intervention options, supports for students, consequences for perpetrators, what staff can and cannot disclose
  • Assess Next Steps should you be dissatisfied with your school’s intervention or support for your child
Our evening will end with a healing circle of song, hope and inspiration.
