Unmasking the Trauma: School Bullying & Children with Special Needs
About this ebook
As the parent, you want to protect your child from bullies, but what happens when schools and teachers aren’t there to support you?
Bully-related suicides have increased at an alarming rate. Surging numbers of families have complained to school administration about their child being bullied. Happy-go-lucky children come home depressed and withdrawn. Despite having anti-bullying policies, the lack of responsiveness from school districts and school-based administrations has been inconsistent. Yet the trauma lingers with these children and their families, long after the bullying has stopped.
Eight individuals, writing as parents or educators, share their raw, authentic truths about how school bullying negatively impacted the social, emotional, and overall mental health of their children. Unmasking the Trauma concludes with a call to action that will empower and equip readers to help build trauma-free schools by decreasing bullying and intolerance.
Are you willing to be the change your child needs?
