Bullying is not confined to schoolyards. It can rear its ugly head in any community, including senior living spaces. It is a pressing issue in community housing that demands attention.
Discover how researchers from Sheridan College and a senior’s housing provider joined forces to combat tenant-on-tenant bullying. Glean insights from Sheridan College’s anti-bullying toolkit, rooted in Ontario-based research and designed to equip tenants with the skills to stand up and speak out.
Together, we will cover:
- How the Anti-Bullying Toolkit supports seniors and practical strategies to foster a bully-free community
- Real-life success stories from the first seniors housing provider partnership and the impact of the Train the Trainer model
- Future possibilities for senior anti-bullying initiatives and how you can get involved
From strategies for assertive communication and prevention, to real-life success stories, this session offers practical insights for fostering a culture of respect at any age!
