That’s the trailer for a brilliant film starring local kids who’ve been bullied directed by our very own Canadian Red Cross RespectED team in B.C., including staff and students involved in our bullying prevention program. The film, How to Help: A Youth Perspective on Bullying is pretty fantastic; it was created in collaboration with Reel Youth, a non-profit, media empowerment program supporting youth.
The goal is that this film will help open up dialogue in schools, homes, community centres and amongst anyone who is interested in helping put an end to bullying. So many parents feel helpless when their child is experiencing bullying, so a group of courageous youth came together to give their perspectives on how youth who are being bullied at school can be effectively supported at home.
The screening of How to Help: A Youth Perspective on Bullying will take place in Vancouver onFriday, September 21st, 2012at the Vancity Theatre, located at the Vancouver International Film Centre. Global TV news anchor Steve Darling will be our host for the event.We will also present an interactive demonstration of www.imaginenobullying.ca, a new website created for the B.C. Imagine...No Bullying campaign that's about to be launched.
