PREVNet is pleased that the federal government is taking a role in leading bullying prevention across the country with the funding of the Canadian Red Cross Stand Up to Bullying and Discrimination in Canadian Communities project, and says it is an important first step toward a National Bullying Prevention Strategy. PREVNet is recognized as Canada's authority on research and resources for bullying prevention. The Canadian Red Cross, a PREVNet partner, will receive $250,000 to train 2,400 facilitators, aged 13 to 17, to deliver prevention workshops across the country. Youth forums will also be held in three provinces.
