Activity Description

Bullying is a severe and pervasive problem affecting children worldwide, with detrimental consequences for their physical and mental well-being. Bullying is a repeated and deliberate pattern of aggressive or hurtful behavior targeting individuals perceived as less powerful. Bullying manifests in various forms, such as physical, verbal, social/relational, and cyberbullying, each having unique characteristics. Vulnerable populations often at greater risk of being bullied are individuals who are perceived as "different" in various ways, including racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, refugees, those with notable physical features or disabilities, and younger or more vulnerable children.

Healthcare professionals are uniquely positioned to identify bullying, provide targeted support, and assist with mitigating its mental and physical health consequences. This activity provides healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools to increase their awareness of bullying, enabling early recognition and effective management of this complex issue. Bullying is a problem that affects both the victims and the perpetrators, and this course equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills to positively impact the lives of those affected by bullying.
