A gift to administrators, counselors & educators, this free Be Strong resource was developed and written by veteran school psychologist Israel “Izzy” Kalman and presented by his trainee, accomplished youth motivational speaker Brooks Gibbs. This program stands out from typical bullying prevention programs by treating schools as educational institutions whose responsibility it is to equip students to handle the social challenges of life on their own, rather than law enforcement facilities that need to protect children from each other and conduct investigations and trials whenever children complain of being treated badly by others. Thus, children’s resilience, independence and emotional maturity are enhanced, while freeing school personnel to devote their time to teaching academics rather than managing hostilities.
