💡Important Promotional Tip!

Please do not use “anti-bullying speaker” or “anti-bullying program”. Instead, use “social aggression”, “conflict resolution” and “resilience education”.

Jeff’s alternative approach to bullying is the opposite of what the failed anti-bullying movement teaches, and is actually effective!

– Using the word “bullying” will bring confusion and negativity.
– Using “resilience” and “mental health” brings positivity and is an honest representation of the skills being taught.
