Refugee and newcomer students are more likely to be bullied and may not understand how to effectively manage these situations, which could lead to further feelings of social isolation and stress. This webinar will focus on supporting refugee students who are displaying bullying behaviors or are being bullied, while highlighting how bullying may appear different among migrant populations. Participants will also gain an understanding of the various roles in bullying situations, as well as the importance of using a strengths-based approach in both prevention of and response to bullying.
After watching this 60-minute webinar, you will be able to:
- Discuss the link between core stressors that refugee students may face and bullying
- Describe the roles in bullying and the risk factors specific to refugee students
- Discuss vital strategies and considerations that may help prevent and respond to bullying of refugee students
