Over the years, I have met the most interesting and inspiring people, working in the field of child and adolescent mental health. Through my work in helping kids develop skills to cope effectively with bullying, this list has instantly multiplied!
Check out Sweethearts and Heroes, a most unique and engaging organization founded jointly by a professional MMA fighter and a teacher. Through teacher training, parent presentations, and assemblies geared especially for middle and high school audiences, Sweethearts and Heroes is developing strategies to put an end to bullying.
“Through knowledge and communication we are committed to bringing our message to individual communities; not only to help the victims, but especially to empower bystanders to make a difference. We all have the potential to be someone’s hero.”
Check this innovative non-profit out on Facebook and add them to your Favorite pages.
