Bullying, cyberbullying, and harassment jeopardize learning- with victims of harassment report a loss of interest in school activities, more absenteeism, lower-quality schoolwork, lower grades, and more skipping/dropping classes, tardiness and truancy.

This Bullying workshop looks at various aspects of bullying to help parents define it, the roles and relationships between the bully and the bullied, and how community members can help from a bystander perspective.

The Circle of Security® is an innovative intervention program designed to improve the developmental pathway of children and their parents. It is a video-based intervention that strengthens parents’ abilities to observe and improve their caregiving skills. Through the Circle of Security®, attachment theory offers clear, individualized pathways for providing a secure relationship between parent and child.

Every child comes into the world seeking a secure relationship with her/his caregivers. The Circle of Security® program helps promote that security. A secure attachment between child and caregiver is critical to a child’s current and future well-being. University-based research has shown that secure children have increased empathy, greater self-esteem, better relationships with parents and peers, enter school more ready to learn, and handle their emotions better than their less secure peers. As they grow older, secure children become less likely to live in poverty, have legal problems, or experience chronic emotional difficulties.
