During Mental Health Month, Our Kids Media is featuring a series of articles to raise awareness about depression, anxiety, suicide and other forms of mental illness — and how we can help save our children.
Mindyourmindpro’s Christine Garinger talked with Barbara Coloroso about bullying and how creating a deeply caring community is the most effective way to break this cycle of violence for the sake of our children.
If you are around the Toronto area, Coloroso is offering a summer institute in 2011, “Teaching with Wit and Wisdom” for educators of all grades, as well as administrators and trustees.
“It was so cool to talk to Barbara Coloroso! I admire her wisdom and passion,” Garinger says. ”She’s an author, a speaker and an educator with a message of empowerment and action. (Read Coloroso’s bio.) It’s so important, that right now and every day as adults we challenge ourselves to do things to question the status quo. In doing so, we strive to change the culture that our children are growing up in.”
