Coalition Update 6/04:
The
NJ network of organizations
committed to doing something about
bullying continues to develop, currently
under the NJ Coalition for Bullying Awareness
and Prevention banner (the name may change
at some point). 5 Projects described earlier
are all developing as we speak: (a) Website:
a new volunteer web designer is about
to come on board, which should lead to
a major upgrade in the look and usefulness
of this site; (b) Law Project: educational
meetings for lawyers are soon to be held
- notice will be forthcoming; (c) Training/Resources:
a process for identifying, evaluating
and recommending bullying-related programs
and materials is being developed; (d)
Support Line: a process and structure
to support the existing hotline (877 NOBULLY)
is being developed; and (e) Parents' Campaign:
NJ Parents Caucus and Statewide Parent
Advocacy Network are working on this,
and I am excited about the prospects!
