Every October, schools and organizations across the country observe National Bullying Prevention Month, encouraging communities to work together to stop bullying by increasing awareness of the prevalence and impact of bullying on children.
The Pennsylvania Department of Education offers a Bullying Prevention & Consultation Line (1-866-716-0424) – a toll-free number that allows individuals experiencing chronic and unresolved bullying to discuss effective strategies and available resources to deal with school-based bullying. This hotline is available to students, parents/guardians, and school districts across the state of Pennsylvania. Messages can be left 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and will be returned Monday through Friday during normal business hours.
