  • ANTI-BULLYING

    Bridgewater State College houses a comprehensive program on anti-bullying. The program is called the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center (MARC), and it covers a broad range of issues that encompass keeping our students safe from bullying both in school and on-line. Their goal is to provide services to students and school staff in grades K-12 in Massachusetts, "in the area of bullying prevention, cyber-bullying education and prevention, and violence prevention."

    Stop Bullying Now: "The team of adults who helped to develop this campaign worked very closely with members of a Youth Expert Panel made up of 9 through 13-year-olds who made sure the campaign reflected the "real life" impact of bullying in middle school and beyond. The Panel also included a few older teenagers, who gave great advice on how to get older teenagers to lend a hand to young people who are bullied."
