Reducing violence in interpersonal relationships, families, schools and communities

Issue at HandBullying is a current social issue relating to the health and well being of, in particular, our New Zealand youth, causing emotional, physical and social distress.

Left unaddressed bullying can escalate to more serious issues such as violence and suicide as well as other social problems later in life (Ministry of Education, n.d.).

“Bullying is not a problem that sorts itself out” (Web health, 2006).

Our anti-bullying campaign is based around teaching children how to recognise bullying situations, show them how to prevent and deal with these situations by learning about self esteem, body language and where to go for support.

Our Slogan...

...portrays a positive attitude in creating a friendly atmosphere within the school setting.

The first step to solving a problem is acknowledging that it exists

This programme is not a single handed attempt to reduce violence amongst primary aged children. It is an awareness programme aimed to work in conjunction with, and promote other community projects and school based programmes that may already be set in place.

This awareness will give children the tools to help prevent bullying situations.

Group tasks cont....

Task

2. Children discuss in their groups ‘safe’ adults who they trust and can go to if they are having problems with bullying.

‘Safe’ adults are secure bases where the child can feel protected and not judged.

E.g. Parents, teacher, older sibling, family friend, relative, religious leader, grandparent, school counsellor, caregiver.

An activity sheet will be handed out to be filled in and illustrations can be drawn. In the middle circle children will portray themselves and the outer circles their safe adults.

40% of calls made to the ‘What’s Up’ help line concern relationships with others including bullying, peers and family (Kids Help Foundation, 2003).
