Did you know October is National Anti-Bullying Awareness Month?
Cyberbullying is unfortunately something that is impacting kids from elementary school all the way through adulthood. While considered by many as an extension of traditional bullying, cyberbullying is distinct in many ways that make responding to incidences particularly challenging; something I wrote about recently in The Social Media Explorer.
I am thrilled to be hosting an upcoming discussion on my blog with leading experts answering our questions on what we can do to combat this dangerous and even deadly problem. In this interview, Jeff Floreno and Rosalind Jackson will answers our key questions about the nature of cyberbullying and the challenges this relatively new phenomenon poses to school administrators, parents and students. With the growing prevalence of cyberbullying, this information is critical to readers who want to understand the problem and recognizing the impact before it gets serious.
Here's who we will be talking to. If you have questions, please comment on this post or send me an email, and I will see what we can do to get them addressed.
Here is who we will be talking with:
- JeffFloreno serves as Director of Operations and Security Strategy at Wren, where he serves as a subject matter expert on school security and delivers solutions that create safe learning environments. With over 25 years of developing violence prevention strategies, Floreno is particularly interested in the transition of bulling from the schoolyard to the workplace.
- Rosalind Jackson is owner of Train Intervene Prevent™, a consulting business that caters to proactive organizations focusing on workplace violence prevention strategies. Jackson, with 20 years of developing violence prevention strategies, is passionate about minimizing the occurrence and impact of violence and bulling in today’s society.
I am excited to have this opportunity, and look forward to learning more about what we can do to stop this horrible crime from happening to anyone; young or grown.
