Stand up, speak out, and let’s help put a stop to bullying together 💪

It’s anti-bullying week. Bullying can happen to anyone, anywhere and at any time, but if you are being bullied, remember, it is not your fault.

Speaking to an authority figure or someone close to you about a bully, whether in the workplace or the school playground, is the first step towards combatting the problem and creating a more positive space for both your own mental health and the world around you. So, if you do have concerns, now is a fantastic time to act.
