A virtual screening and follow-up panel discussion of documentary, "The Upstanders," which delves deep into cyber-bullying, showing the perspectives of those who bully, their victims, and the trauma of the bystander.
Covid-19 has only exacerbated the problem of cyber-abuse, by providing an environment conducive to bullying – one of isolation, anxiety and increased time on screens. The film explores: • The science behind cyber-bullying • Why kids are afraid to admit they are cyber-bullied and what signs to watch for • How to realize if your child is engaging in cyber-bullying • How the community can show resilience and power to end bullying Following the Film screening, we will be joined by a panel of experts to answer your questions, including: Amanda Nickerson, Alberti Center for Bullying Abuse Prevention Pat Breux, Suicide Prevention Center of New York Barbara Bernstein, MHA of Westchester County Click here to register. |
