Anti-Bullying:
Most children & young people want to know how to respond to bullies effectively rather than just ‘ignoring’ the hurtful remarks. Blaze anti-bullying workshops are designed to teach children how to be proactive and assertive, calm & confident.
Content includes: body language & non-verbal communication, how to de-escalate an argument, how to handle verbal bullying – what to say & how to react, key takeaways on raising self-worth, mental resilience & a positive mindset.
Anti-Bullying sessions are available as both 1-hour workshops & whole assemblies.
