Bullying is more common than many of us realize—and its impact on teens can be seriously life-changing. Dru Alhborg of the Bullying Recovery Resource Center in Colorado joins me to share the essential steps to combating and overcoming bullying for yourself, a loved one or a friend. Find out the true definition of bullying, how to spot the warning signs, when to step in, how to be an 'Upstander' or support someone being bulled, and when moving schools may be necessary. This episode equips parents and teens with the tools you need to prevent, address, and heal from bullying.
