National Bullying Prevention Month

National Bullying Prevention Month, observed throughout October, is a campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the issue of bullying and promoting efforts to prevent it in schools, workplaces, and communities. Organised by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Centre, this month-long initiative focuses on educating people about the effects of bullying, encouraging kindness and inclusion, and empowering individuals to take action against bullying. National Bullying Prevention Month aims to create a safer environment for everyone, where respect and acceptance are the norm.

Bullying can have serious and lasting effects on individuals, including emotional distress, decreased self-esteem, and even mental health issues. National Bullying Prevention Month encourages people to recognise the signs of bullying, support those who are being bullied, and work together to create a culture of kindness and empathy. Through education, awareness events, and social media campaigns, this month aims to empower individuals to stand up against bullying and to advocate for policies that protect individuals from harassment and abuse.

Here are some social media content ideas to engage your audience during National Bullying Prevention Month:
