National Bullying Prevention Week HistoryNational Bullying Prevention Week is dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of bullying and promoting a safe environment for individuals. It involves various activities, events, and educational resources designed to empower people to stand up against bullying and to encourage a culture of kindness, respect, and empathy. Throughout Canada, schools, communities, and organizations participate in this special week to proactively foster a safe and supportive atmosphere for everyone. The origins of National Bullying Prevention Week can be traced back to the United States in 2006, when PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center initiated the event to help educate communities on the prevalence of bullying and how it can be prevented. Since then, the observance has gained momentum, and its significance has reached countries like Canada, where bullying remains a concern. Research indicates that bullying, whether physical, verbal, or cyber, adversely impacts mental health and well-being. As such, it is essential for Canadians to participate in National Bullying Prevention Week to create a harmonious society where everyone feels valued and respected. During National Bullying Prevention Week, various customs and activities take place across Canada. Some examples include schools engaging students in bullying prevention workshops, hosting assemblies or talks by guest speakers, and launching anti-bullying campaigns. Communities and organizations are also encouraged to create and share resources to promote understanding and educate individuals on response strategies and prevention techniques. While the exact dates may vary slightly between Canadian provinces, National Bullying Prevention Week typically coincides with the internationally recognized observance held annually during the first full week of October.
