The New York Jets in partnership with STOMP Out Bullying will host their first-ever anti-bullying symposium today Monday, August 22.
The event will feature several notable figures in the mental health industry who will participate in two interactive discussion panels on topics ranging from the latest trends in bullying to the best practices across schools.
Since partnering with STOMP Out Bullying last year, the New York Jets have provided educator prevention toolkits to 1,000 schools in the tri-state area at no cost as part of an effort to spearhead the fight against bullying. The toolkits, whose distribution had the potential to reach over 350,000 students, enabled educators to create meaningful dialogue, educate students through proven Social Emotional Learning, adopt character building and involve both students and faculty in working together to change school climates.
