"Bullying affects all youth, including those who are bullied, those who bully others and those who witness bullying," trauma specialist Tara Kellogg commented.

This latest installment in the "Fantastic Florence" series provides parents, caregivers, teachers and mental health professionals with a tool to initiate conversations with children and help them identify and process their experiences. Florence validates children's feelings, and offers easy-to-understand strategies by displaying messages to provide comfort and reassurance. She suggests ways to handle difficult situations, and always encourages children to confide in a trusted adult.
