Overview
Bullying has always been an issue in our society and that has not changed even in 2023. In fact, some would say the prevalence of social media has made it more common. The latest statistics show that 73% of students say they have been bullied in their lifetime, and 44% say it has happened in the past 30 days. With 95% of teenagers connected to the internet and 85% of them on social media cyberbullying is a widespread societal issue. The issue of bullying doesn’t just affect kids though, adults are also subject to face-to-face bullying and cyberbullying, although it may be called harassment or stalking. In order to see these statistics decrease there needs to be an emphasis on teaching kindness and empathy and not just expecting it. This training will focus on explicitly teaching kindness and empathy to children and adults of all ages. Helping professionals will gain knowledge on how to intentionally focus on kindness and empathy in a variety of settings. Participants will leave with strategies for children and adults and hear from an experienced teacher on how he intentionally teaches kindness and empathy in the classroom.

By Attending Our Workshop, You Will Be Able To:

• Examine ways to encourage compassion, empathy, and kindness
• Identify three types of empathy
• Describe the key elements of empathy
• Give examples of strategies that can be used to teach kindness and empathy in children and adults
• Summarize the benefits of being compassionate and empathetic
