Teens Against Bullying is a teen-led program with three levels that focus on meeting the needs of all youth victimized by bullying. Youth Victims are not only provided with resources and support but are provided with guidance and encouragement to become advocates against bullying. Our program recognizes youth who are targets of bullying as well as witnesses traumatized by bullying as victims.
- TAB raises awareness in the community about victimization through bullying, as well as assist in the ID of potential victims of bullying using awareness campaigns, ID campaigns, and collaboration with schools and other youth organizations. The program offers workshops to inform parents.
- The Youth Council (ages 10-13) and Teen Peer Leaders (ages 14-17) develop skills in a biweekly support group to advocate for themselves and peers to respond to bullying effectively and prevent further incidences. Teen Peer Leaders participate in program development, management, and civic engagement. Youth Council members participate in various activities to promote a network of support.
- Advocates attend school appointments and facilitate the youth (ages 6-17) in navigating the system, making referrals to therapeutic services and informing them of their legal rights.
