As communities across the country observe Bullying Prevention Month, Boys Town Louisiana Executive Director Rashain Carriere-Williams shares tips to help protect kids in school and online.
Bullying today often extends beyond the classroom and into the digital world. Social media can make it harder for kids to escape hurtful behavior and can impact their mental health. Parents can help by staying engaged, talking regularly with their children about their online experiences, and working closely with schools when issues arise.
Boys Town offers 24/7 help for families dealing with bullying or other emotional challenges. Call 1-800-448-3000, text VOICE to 20121, or visit YourLifeYourVoice.org for more resources.
