National Bullying Prevention Month Social Media Toolkit

Hello grantees!

October is National Bullying Prevention Month and today kicks it off with World Day of Bullying Prevention. PEI wore blue to stand in solidarity against bullying.

At least 1 out of every 5 kids in United States is bullied. In Texas, at least 40% of those who are bullied have seriously considered suicide. The conversation to prevent bulling can start as early as a when a child learns the difference between kindness and unkindness.

To give caregivers the tools to empower their children to be anti-bullying champions and to get messaging out about bullying prevention, the PEI Communications Team created content designed to help caregivers have conversations with their children about bullying that can be posted on your organization’s websites or social media channels.

These messages and links can be used as is or they can be customized in any way that works best for your community. For example, if your agency has a hotline, you may consider replacing the Texas Youth Helpline with it, or if your agency has a bullying prevention program, consider replacing the links directing to the Help and Hope website with links directing to your program’s information.
There are some social media sample images at the bottom of this bulletin you are free to use. The logo can be removed with room to replace it with a different logo by emailing Leslie Sisson on PEI’s Communication Team.
The National Bullying Prevention Center also has a library of images and messaging that are free for use:
