What's New?Take a Stand with the Utah Parent Center during
National Bullying Prevention Awareness Week October 4 - 10, 2009
It takes a community to prevent bullying of children. The Fourth Annual National Bullying Prevention Awareness Week, October 4-10, 2009 encourages communities nationwide to work together to increase awareness of the prevalence and impact of bullying on all children.
We encourage families, students, schools, organizations and other groups to become better informed about the issues around bullying. Unite with the Utah Parent Center (UPC) and our sister organization the PACER Center to prevent bullying in several ways. Read and become informed about bullying, its impact, and strategies for prevention and remediating the effects. Electronic copies of this e-Journal, fact sheets, and materials on related topics are available on the UPC’s website. Engage in conversations at your child’s school to better understand what is happening to prevent bullying and address it when it occurs.
The Utah Parent Center primarily serves families of children, youth, and young adults with all disabilities. We provide resources such as publications, workshops, and individualized assistance and help families make decisions about education, vocational training, employment, and other services for their child. The UPC’s website is www.utahparentcenter.org and its phone numbers are 801-272-1051and 800-468-1160 (UT toll free).
