The Power of Awareness: How We Can Stop Bullying Together

Every October, we are reminded that silence around bullying is never an option. National Bullying Prevention Month is not just about wearing orange or posting supportive messages online.

At DaliTalks, we use this month to amplify what we do year-round. We educate, equip, and empower parents and educators to take real steps that prevent bullying before it starts. Through workshops, blogs, and parent guides, we help families recognize the early signs of bullying and know exactly how to respond effectively.

When we raise awareness, we give people tools. That is the heart of prevention.

But, I want to make sure that they know I am there for them and that they can ask me any questions. 

That’s the job of a parent, right? No matter what is going on, we never stop being there for our kids. 

So, I want to remind you to please talk with your children about what they’re fe...
