Presenter
Jane Finkenbine is a former trainer for the national Ophelia Project, based in Erie, PA. She continues to work with schools and organizations throughout Wisconsin to help create safe social climates for all.

In addition to these responsibilities, she works with community organizations as a diversity trainer and facilitation specialist.
Description
Each day, in the U.S. alone, 160,000 children miss school for fear of being tormented by their peers. No child should have to endure name-calling, rumors, gossip, exclusion or bullying from their peers. Participants in this workshop will leave with a better understanding of the roles bystanders play in bullying situations and practical strategies and activities to empower the bystanders to safely intervene and help create safe social climates for all. Research shows that bystanders intervene in bullying situations only 15% of the time; however, they can improve the social climate 80% of the time. It truly takes just one voice, one act, to make a world of difference. Participants will leave with resources to define and address bullying at school.
Audience
Pupil Services, School Counselors, Administration, Regular and Special Education Teachers, After School Coordinators, Support Staff, anyone interested in this important topic.
