I love it when two of my worlds collide! Today, I received the kindest email from a woman who I had recently helped access an LSCI online training. She subsequently read an article I wrote about bullying among girls and sent me this note: (Shared with permission)
Thank you for that info, Signe. I am able to log on from my phone and will do the training that way.

I also wanted to let you know that I just read your article in Psychology Today, “Helping Girls Cope With Bullying and Frenemies”. What a great piece of writing! It’s so accessible and right on point. I shared it with my staff and we’ll be discussing it during our next PLC, as we are dealing with exactly these issues in both our third and fourth grade classes. Thank you for writing it and for sharing it-SO helpful!

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.”
