PreventConnect has a fantastic webinar coming up that I would strongly recommend: Links Between Bullying and Sexual Violence. The webinar will be offered twice, once on February 27th, and again March 2nd. Both sessions begin at 11am PST. The session will be centered around the recently published article, Bullying Perpetration and Subsequent Sexual Violence Perpetration Among Middle School Students (Journal of Adolescent Health).
From the site:
Join Dr. Dorothy Espelage and Dr. Kathleen Basile as they discuss their recent Journal of Adolescent Health article, “Bullying Perpetration and Subsequent Sexual Violence Perpetration Among Middle School Students.” Heather Carter of the Youth Suicide Prevention Program in Seattle, Wash., will join the conversation as she will describe efforts to prevent LGBT-based bullying and harassment. In this interactive web conference, we will explore the potential implications for sexual violence and other prevention efforts.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will describe the findings of a the study “Bullying Perpetration and Subsequent Sexual Violence Perpetration Among Middle School Students.”
- Participants will explore a potential bullying sexual violence pathway.
- Participants will identify potential implications for prevention efforts.
One reply on “Links Between Bullying and Sexual Violence”
I do believe that sexual harassment is strongly linked with bullying during childhood.
