Empower, Protect, Restore: Tackling School & Cyber Bullying – Rising Above for Victims and Responsible Paths for Bullies

​Webinar Description:

​Bullying — whether in school hallways, on playgrounds, or online through cyberbullying, affects many young people, causing emotional pain, isolation, lowered self-esteem, and long-term impacts. It happens in various forms: physical, verbal, social exclusion, rumors, or digital harassment. But bullying is preventable, and individuals and communities can rise above it while addressing everyone involved compassionately.

​In this practical, hope-filled webinar, we'll explore:

• ​What bullying really looks like across online, offline, and school settings; signs, common triggers, and the roles of victims, bullies, and bystanders

• ​How victims can rise above: building resilience, seeking help, assertiveness strategies, self-worth tools, peer support, and turning pain into strength

• ​Balanced ways to treat bullies: understanding root causes (e.g., insecurity, learned behavior), using restorative approaches (empathy-building, accountability, consequences that teach rather than just punish), and guiding positive change

• ​Effective prevention and response: bystander intervention ("upstander" actions), school/family/community roles, digital citizenship, reporting safely, and creating inclusive environments

• ​Real examples, practical tools, and Kenyan-relevant resources (e.g., school policies, helplines like Childline Kenya 116, community support)

​This session is for students, parents, teachers, youth leaders, and anyone wanting to foster kindness and safety. Join us for honest discussion, actionable steps, and empowerment no judgment, just progress.
