October is bullying awareness month and Seminole Behavioral Healthcare is taking this opportunity to get the word out about ways to prevent and respond to bullying. This year, in conjunction with Seminole Sheriff’s Department and Seminole County Public Schools, we are focusing the spotlight on cyber-bullying. Throughout the month we will be posting news about community events, downloadable resources, and tips for keeping your child safe.
Cyber-bullying involves the use of technology such as cell phones, computers, and social media websites (such as Facebook) to threaten or humiliate others. This can be a particularly difficult situation for parents to monitor and respond to, as technology is becoming more complicated and our children are often more sophisticated in its use than we are.
We would like for you to consider Seminole Behavioral Healthcare to be an important resource for you and your family. Feel free to contact us at any time by calling (407) 321-HELP or visiting this website.
