WFCR: Anti-Bullying Training Program in W. MA (2011-02-17)

LISTEN TO FULL STORY HERE

(wfcr) - Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley will be in Springfield to get input on the state's new anti-bullying law. It requires all schools enact a bullying prevention plan, although with wide latitude to decide what kind of plan. WFCR's Karen Brown profiles one training program that's been around for years; since before the suicide of a South Hadley student brought the issue into sharp focus. Instead of targeting aggressive behavior, it focuses on the reactions of those on the side lines. © Copyright 2011, wfcr
