Pushed Around – Bullying project
Pushed Around is a comprehensive project on the topic of bullying. WITF plans on using a broad approach to the topic, covering not just bullying in schools, but also online and in the workplace.
We will focus on signs of bullying, approaches for stopping bullying, the psychology behind bullying, and personal stories of local people impacted by bullying, among other topics. Pushed Around is supported by Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital.
