Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Throughout October, we have been exploring practical bullying prevention strategies, and today we are wrapping up the series with a focus on teaching self-advocacy. While this may seem like a more reactive approach, it is an essential skill that helps students navigate challenges with confidence. In this episode, we explore three simple ways to help students learn to advocate for themselves and others: Practice Scripts Provide students with sample scripts they can use in real-life situations. Watch short videos together, then practice through role play in small groups or class lessons. This gives students a chance to apply what they learn and build communication skills in a safe environment. Self-Esteem Affirmations Encourage students to use positive self-talk that supports their confidence. Have them create affirmation cards or write encouraging messages on sticky notes to remind themselves of their strengths and worth. Advocating for Others Teach students to be upstanders rather than bystanders. Traditional bullying prevention lessons can be adapted to show students how to recognize when someone needs help and how to take safe, supportive action. Tune in to learn how you can incorporate self-advocacy into your counseling lessons and empower your students to stand up for themselves and others.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! October is Bullying Prevention Month, and throughout the month I'll be sharing some replays of our best episodes focused on strategies to prevent bullying in schools. In today's episode, we're diving into friendship skills — an essential foundation for creating a kind, connected, and inclusive school culture. I'll be sharing ideas you can use at every level: schoolwide, classroom, small group, and individual. Schoolwide Strategies Buddy Bench (Elementary Level): Transform an existing bench at recess into a “Buddy Bench.” When a student feels lonely or doesn't have anyone to play with, they can sit there to signal they're looking for a friend. Other students are encouraged to approach, sit with them, or invite them to join in play. Mix It Up at Lunch Day (Middle School Level): Help reduce lunchroom anxiety by encouraging students to sit somewhere new for a day. This activity helps them meet new peers and break out of their usual social circles. Assigned Recess Groups: Rotate groups of students to play or interact together, fostering connections between kids who might not usually spend time with one another. Classroom Strategies Friendship Lessons: Lead a class discussion or activity around the qualities of a good friend versus the qualities of a not-so-good friend. This sets the tone for healthy peer relationships and respectful communication. Small Group Strategies Friendship Discussions: Talk about what makes a good friend and how good friends act. Friendship Dice Game: Use discussion prompts such as “What do you love about your friends?” or “What annoys you about your friends?” to spark meaningful conversations. Conflict Resolution Practice: Teach students to use “I” statements to express their feelings and resolve friendship conflicts. Scenario Cards: Role-play different social situations to help students problem-solve and practice empathy. Individual Counseling Strategies Scripts and Role Plays: Work one-on-one with students to build their social confidence. The goal is to help them gain the skills they need to transition into small group or class activities successfully.

Welcome back to School Counseling Simplified. Since October is Bullying Prevention Month, this episode focuses on practical conflict resolution strategies you can use at the schoolwide, classroom, and small group levels. If you have not listened to last week's episode on restorative circles, start there for helpful background on resolution circles and community-based approaches. Today we build on that foundation with tangible tools you can use right away to help students resolve, forgive, and repair relationships. What you will learn in this episode How to use classroom-based activities to teach conflict resolution skills A simple script for I statements that students can use to express feelings and seek solutions Engagement strategies for role play, discussion, and practice Small group activities and curricula that support peer problem solving Steps to take when a student is referred to you after a conflict Classroom strategies  Talk it out circle Use a classroom circle where two students resolve a conflict in front of their peers while the teacher or counselor facilitates a respectful discussion. This model teaches the whole class how to listen, reflect, and offer support. Counselor push-ins Join the classroom for a lesson or mediation session, while the teacher and student exit the classroom to resolve a conflict. I statement lessons Teach a simple I statement script: name the emotion, describe the incident, explain how it made you feel, and suggest a next step toward resolution. Use dry erase boards with fill-in-the-blank templates for practice. Post I statement language on classroom walls and in common areas so students have visible reminders. Role play and scenario practice Break students into small groups and use scenario cards to role play common friendship conflicts. Incorporate charades, fishbowl exercises, or paired practice to make skills stick. Small group ideas Run a conflict resolution group using discussion dice or conversation cards to guide reflection. Include hands-on activities or crafts that reinforce communication skills and empathy. Consider curricula like Kelso's Choices to teach problem-solving options for peer conflicts. When students are referred after a conflict Start by identifying the source of the conflict. Ask why this keeps happening and what the underlying triggers are. Take time to get a full picture before deciding on a plan so you do not cycle through the same issues repeatedly. Use data from observations, teacher input, and student self-report to refine your intervention. Action steps you can take today Teach and practice one I statement template with a class. Try a short talk it out circle during your next classroom visit. Create or print an I statement poster to display in classrooms and common areas.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT Conflict Resolution Small Group: Pirates to Peacekeepers Bullying Prevention Classroom Guidance Lesson Bringing Restorative Practices to Your School By Laura McClure Check out the Kelso music video on YouTube: It's Your Choice Baby Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube   More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

A toy doesn't need to be loud or flashy to leave a lasting impact. The most meaningful ones teach kindness, spark empathy, and build something real in a child's heart. That belief is what led today's guest to create a toy that's about so much more than play.In this special replay episode, we're passing the mic to guest host Virginia Lette, who sits down with Jana Hallam, a Toy Creators Academy alum who felt the same way and turned that feeling into a mission-driven brand. After struggling to align with a well-known holiday tradition, Jana set out to create something that better reflected the values she wanted to teach her kids: empathy, emotional awareness, and the courage to be kind.Her solution? The Kindness Mouse, the debut product from Wonderwell Toy Company. It's a magical, story-driven play experience featuring a plush mouse, storybook, and activity cards that inspire kindness in young children through social-emotional learning.You'll hear the origin story of The Kindness Mouse and why kids instantly connect with this unlikely hero. We dive into how empathy, SEL, and the idea of “wiring them young” became the foundation of Wonderwell Toy Co. Jana shares how trusting her gut (and even starting over) was key to moving forward, how Toy Creators Academy helped her navigate product safety, playtesting, and manufacturing, and why community is essential when you're building a brand from scratch.Whether you're dreaming up your first product or knee-deep in development, this conversation will remind you that a strong why is the most powerful tool a toy creator can have.Send The Toy Coach Fan Mail!Support the showPopular Masterclass!

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Since October is Bullying Prevention Month, I will be highlighting some of our best podcast episodes all about bullying prevention strategies. Today, we are diving into practical ways to create a culture of kindness in schools. Promoting kindness is one of the most effective ways to reduce bullying. In this episode, I share strategies that teachers and counselors can use to set a positive tone, build empathy, and encourage collaboration. Morning meetings are a simple yet powerful practice that helps students begin their day with intention. Counselors can shadow teachers and suggest SEL activities, such as discussion cards, to promote empathy and connection. Restorative practices, including proactive circles that create safe spaces where every student feels heard and valued. These circles allow students to practice active listening, handle strong emotions, and respect differences. Resolution circles and talk-it-out circles provide opportunities for repair and forgiveness with counselor support. School-wide kindness cards can be passed out to students to recognize and encourage positive behaviors, building a stronger culture of kindness across the campus. By focusing on these strategies, we can create school environments where kindness thrives and bullying is less likely to take root.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT BULLYING PREVENTION Editable Guidance Lesson Morning Meeting Discussion Cards Feelings Check Bullying Prevention School Wide Activities - Fall and Halloween Activities Bullying Prevention Classroom Guidance Lesson for Elementary School Counseling Ep. 61.

In this episode, I open up about the two resources I created to help parents and educators take real action against bullying:

In episode #140 of the Especially for Athletes Podcast, we tackle a powerful and emotional topic: bullying. We explore the critical role that athletes, coaches, and parents can play in addressing and preventing bullying, especially in schools. Through a video that went viral, we dive deep into the heart of bullying, the leadership shown by a young boy standing up to bullying, and how athletes can help in these situations. Key Takeaways: Athletes as Leaders in Bullying Prevention – The episode highlights how athletes can use their position of influence to step in when they see bullying. By simply showing empathy and offering support to the victim, athletes can create a culture of kindness. We discuss how a football coach shared a moving video with his team, urging them to be leaders who stand up for others in difficult situations. Empathy First, Action Second – It’s not just about confronting the bully, but more importantly, about showing care for the victim. The real work comes from addressing the bullying and offering support by including the victim and making them feel valued. Simple gestures like asking “Are you okay?” or inviting them to join in activities can make a world of difference. Bullying Isn’t Just a High School Problem – Bullying happens most frequently in middle school and junior high, with over 70% of students witnessing it. Addressing bullying needs to be a constant conversation, not just a one-time discussion. Athletes, especially those in leadership positions, can use their social influence to make a lasting impact. The Heart of Leadership – We explore the deeper emotional and psychological factors that drive bullying behavior. By understanding that many bullies act out due to their own insecurities and struggles, we highlight the importance of showing compassion for both the victim and the bully. The Power of Empathy and Action – We wrap up with a powerful message about how true leadership involves more than just preventing bullying—it’s about changing the culture around you. As athletes, the power of the sportlight can be used not only to uplift your peers but also to create a ripple effect that impacts your school, community, and beyond. This episode challenges athletes, coaches, and parents to be proactive in helping those who are bullied and to set an example of empathy, leadership, and positive action. It’s not just about stopping bullying; it’s about creating an environment where kindness and respect are the norm.

The current landscape of LGBTQ+ bullying remains pervasive, especially in schools and online, where discrimination and harassment can have devastating impacts on mental health and well-being. Not only does this isolate individuals, but it also perpetuates a culture of fear and exclusion, making it harder for the community to achieve acceptance and equality.In this episode, Mike Keller, an author and speaker focused on raising bullying awareness, joins us to discuss how we can work together to eradicate bullying against LGBTQ+ individuals, raise awareness, and advocate for inclusive, supportive environments.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 69.

October is Bullying Prevention Month in the U.S. According to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, one in five U.S. high school students is bullied. That's 8.2 million kids a year – in high school alone. Bullying is a crucial concern for many parents, and in this episode, I'm sharing nine ways you can work with your kids to reduce the likelihood of them becoming bullies or being on the receiving end of bullying behavior.

In this episode, we talk about something very important - bullying. Yes, it is a very popular topic, but it can be a scary thing to talk about as your child gets older and especially if he or she has special needs. It is a parents worst nightmare to find out that your child has been a victim of bullying, especially if it cost them their life. I was reading the news the other day and saw that one family in my local area had received a $27 million settlement in a lawsuit over bullying death of a 13-year-old Moreno Valley, Ca student. This case has made national headlines because the child was not protected by the school district. Although this family was able to get financial restitution for what happened, no one can ever put a dollar amount on your child's life. As parents, we need to be equipped with knowledge that will ensure our children are not victims of bullying and that we know what steps to take if bullying is suspected.Resources Mentioned in This Episode: https://abc7.com/diego-stolz-settlement-27-million-moreno-valley/13778068/www.commonsensemedia.orgwww.pacer.org/bullying/resources/parentswww.stopbullying.gov*EMAIL LIST*Click here to join my email list for more free content to help you on your parenting journey!or go to strongermindsstrongeryouth.com/jointhelist*REACH OUT & SHARE*Email me your stories to share with others parents just like you @ jessika@strongermindsstrongeryouth.com *CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!* & *TAG ME IN YOUR STORIES!!!*#jessikashields or @strongermindsstrongeryouthGet Social to Stay Connected!!!FB: @StrongerMindsStrongerYouthInstagram: @StrongerMindsStrongerYouthLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jessikashieldsTo access more Podcast resources, visit strongermindsstrongeryouth.comThank you for listening!

October is Bully Prevention Month and unfortunately we all know that bullying is everywhere. Regardless of the socio economic status of the school, population, or even the country of the school, there is likely bullying happening. The good news is that we, as school counselors, can address this issue with our students and help to bring awareness to the harm of bullying and hopefully prevent it from happening.           Now, you don't always need to teach the same general bullying prevention lesson to every class or every group. There are topics you can narrow in on to make a bigger impact on your students byu addressing the issues they are actually dealing with. In this episode, I am breaking down ways you can teach about cyberbullying, lesson ideas to address relational aggression bullying, and activity ideas for how to put a fun Halloween twist on your school wide bullying prevention lessons.       *     Show Notes: https://brightfutures-counseling.com/podcast-episodes/bullying-prevention-ideas           *     Resources Mentioned:         Sign up for the FREE Not So Scary Social Skills training: http://stressfreeschoolcounseling.com/scary            Common Sense Media: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/            ASCA Awareness Calendar: https://www.schoolcounselor.org/getmedia/dd5fdee1-e207-4178-ab42-0c8cfaae9f31/awareness-calendar.pdf?sso=            Stop Bullying Website: https://www.stopbullying.gov/          Relational Aggression Activity Pack: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Relational-Aggression-and-Bullying-Counseling-Activities-Girls-Guide-to-Bullying-2921915          Relational Aggression Small Group Activity: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Relational-Aggression-Small-Group-ASCA-CASEL-Aligned-fallcounselingfaves-9052192            Bullying Prevention School Wide Activities: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Bullying-Prevention-School-Wide-Activities-fallcounselingfaves-3411872            Bullying Prevention Halloween Board Game: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Bullying-Prevention-Halloween-Board-Game-School-Counseling-Fall-Game-3411845            National Bullying Prevention Center: https://www.pacer.org/bullying/            Bullying Prevention Charades Game: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Bullying-Prevention-Game-Salad-Bowl-Charades-School-Counseling-Game-4410301            Join the IMPACT Membership: https://www.stressfreeschoolcounseling.com/impact            Grab your FREE Vision Guide: https://www.teachingmindbodyandsoul.com/vision            School Counseling Referral Form: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/School-Counseling-Referral-Form-2759148            School Counseling Data Collection Spreadsheets: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/School-Counseling-Data-Collection-Spreadsheets-Caseload-and-Counseling-Log-7485732            School Counseling Self-Assessments Super Bundle with Digital Data Tracking Forms: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/School-Counseling-Self-Assessments-Super-Bundle-with-Digital-Data-Tracking-Forms-7615254          Data Collection Behavior Surveys: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Data-Collection-Behavior-Surveys-School-Counseling-Data-Tracking-Forms-5221301            Enroll in the Stress-Free School Counseling Course: https://www.stressfreeschoolcounseling.com/enroll         *     Connect with Rachel:     Shop: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Bright-Futures-Counseling     Blog: https://brightfutures-counseling.com/     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightfuturescounseling/     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2473191466030095     If you are enjoying School Counseling Simplified please follow and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/school-counseling-simplified-podcast/id1534494971

Bullying causes long-term damage on students' mental health, often resulting in anxiety, depression or PTSD during a critical developmental stage. But evidence-based approaches provide healthy solutions to complex situations—involving parents, teachers, administrators and other community members at every stage of the process. Jan Urbanski, Ed.D., Director of Safe and Humane Schools at Clemson University, explains how.

Today I sat down with parents at a local school to teach them how to be aware of bullying and being a support system for their children and others.

This episode reminds us that October os Bullying Prevention month and children more than ever are facing peer pressure. Sadly suicide is seen as the only escape. We must empower our children with tools to overcome.

In the state of Alabama, one very important aspect of the Jamari Terrell Williams Student Bullying Prevention Act (Section 16-28B) is a clearly defined procedure for students to use in reporting bullying, including, but not limited to, written reports on local board approved complaint forms and written reports of instances of bullying, intimidation, violence, and threats of violence based on the personal characteristics of a student. The complaint form may be served in person or by mail on the principal, or his or her designee, or his or her office. The procedures shall be made known and be readily available to each student, employee, and the parent or guardian of each student. It is the sole responsibility of the affected student, or the parent or guardian of the affected student, to report incidences of bullying to the principal, or his or her designee. On tonight's show, I will be speaking with Harlan Michell about this law and educating ourselves on what is expected of schools and caretakers when it comes to bullying. I hope you will listen and share.

In this episode, I interview Lynda Bailey, Executive Director of the Anti-bullying Institute, about the hot button issue of bullying. With bullying behaviors on the rise, it's really important for parents to know what to do in a situation whether it's your child being bullied or your child doing the bullying. Either way, you play a major role in how the problem gets resolved. By the end of this episode, you will know how to distinguish between true bullying and typical conflict. You will also find out what laws protect students from being bullied. And as a parent warrior, you will be provided with resources that you can take back to your school leaders to impact change if you see there is a problem. Resources Mentioned In this Episode:Riverside Medical Clinic Charitable Foundation Bullying Prevention Resources: https://www.rmccharity.org/To schedule your 15-minute FREE Consultation, visit jessikashields.com*EMAIL LIST*Click here to join my email list for more free content to help you on your parenting journey!or go to strongermindsstrongeryouth.com/jointhelist*REACH OUT & SHARE*Email me your stories to share with others parents just like you @ jessika@strongermindsstrongeryouth.com *CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!* & *TAG ME IN YOUR STORIES!!!*#jessikashields or @strongermindsstrongeryouthGet Social to Stay Connected!!!Twitter: @Official_SMSYFB: @StrongerMindsStrongerYouthInstagram: @StrongerMindsStrongerYouthLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jessikashieldsTikTok: @Official_SMSYTo access more Podcast resources, visit strongermindsstrongeryouth.comThank you for listening!

Children these days face a myriad of social pressures. Kids come from different homes and backgrounds. They grow at different rates. They walk, talk, and act differently. This diversity and individualism can be something to embrace, but often leads to insecurities about being different and not fitting in socially. These insecurities can have detrimental effects on the mental health of kids during their formative years. Today I am speaking with Dr. Daniel Flannery and Dr. Seth Scholer. Dr. Flannery is a professor at the Mandel school at Case Western Reserve University, Director of the Begun Center for Violence Prevention, and Professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry. Dr. Scholer is a professor of pediatrics in the division of general pediatrics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

In this episode of the Psych Health and Safety USA podcast, host Dr. I. David Daniels will talk with two friends whose relationship is almost exclusively the result of their common interest in addressing workplace bullying. Janet Glover-Kerkvliet and Sonja Pitts are the co-founders of the Maryland Healthy Workplace Task Force, which continues to advocate for legislation to prevent bullying in the workplace. Both are also affiliates of the Workplace Bullying Institute. Nearly one-third of adult Americans (30%) said they directly experienced abusive conduct at work. Efforts to make the workplace safer by creating regulations have been taken up by many based on their experience. In this case, one with direct experience of being the target of bullying and another with experience as a therapist assisting targets have joined forces to help foster change. Janet and Sonja will share their views on the journey toward workplaces where bullying and exposure to other psychosocial hazards are a thing of the past.

Like many of you, I was bullied when I was younger. I had two particular bullies that seemed to follow me wherever I went up until high school. It's not fun. But, back in those days, bullying was viewed as a right of passage. Parents would always say it made you tougher. That's not necessarily true, and we know that to be fact now thanks to research that's been done in recent years. Bullying has changed drastically with the inventions of smart phones and social media. I caught up with Dr. Amanda Nickerson to discuss more about bullying and what's being done to help prevent it. She's the Director of the Alberti Center for Bullying Abuse Prevention at the University at Buffalo Graduate School of Education. Amanda was a wealth of knowledge and I really loved this conversation.

We are wrapping up our series on pre-bullying prevention ideas with a topic that is a little closer to traditional bullying prevention topics. This episode is all about self-advocacy and the importance of students knowing how to stand up for themselves in school and beyond.      Self-advocacy is an important skill that often isn't taught as much as it should be. These skills are used in every stage of life and effectively teaching them to our students will help them throughout their lives. Today we are talking about using scripts to teach self-advocacy skills, why self-esteem affirmations help build these skills, and the importance of teaching students to advocate for others. Unfortunately things are going to happen at school and in life where students will need these skills and it's important we equip them to handle these situations.   *     Show Notes: https://brightfutures-counseling.com/podcast-episodes/self-advocacy   *   Resources Mentioned:     Free Not So Scary Small Groups Video Series: https://www.stressfreeschoolcounseling.com/training      Bullying Prevention Editable Guidance Lesson: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/BULLYING-PREVENTION-Editable-Guidance-Lesson-Video-and-Activity-3143641      Bullying Prevention Classroom Guidance Lesson for Elementary School Counseling: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Bullying-Prevention-Classroom-Guidance-Lesson-for-Elementary-School-Counseling-8292067      Be an Upstander - Prevent Bullying: A NED Short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeqQCyQOCPg      Join my school counselor membership IMPACT: https://www.stressfreeschoolcounseling.com/impact     *     Connect with Rachel:     Shop: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Bright-Futures-Counseling     Blog: https://brightfutures-counseling.com/     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightfuturescounseling/     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2473191466030095     If you are enjoying School Counseling Simplified please follow and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/school-counseling-simplified-podcast/id1534494971

We know how important it is to prevent bullying in our schools and we are continuing our focus on proactive bullying prevention topics. Last week we chatted about creating a culture of kindness and using resolution circles as bullying prevention. Today, we are talking about conflict resolution beyond resolution circles. Being able to resolve conflicts in a respectful way is an important skill for students to learn and we're sharing ideas for how to help teach them these skills. In this episode, we are looking at 3 ways to teach conflict resolution in a class setting, ideas for teaching these skills in a small group, and what to do when a pair is referred to you for a conflict. We know our students need to be able to respectfully resolve conflicts so issues do not escalate into bullying and finding effective ways to teach these skills is key to bullying prevention.   Show Notes: https://brightfutures-counseling.com/podcast-episodes/conflict-resolution-strategies Resources Mentioned: Episode 112: Proactive Bullying Prevention: Creating a Culture of Kindness: https://brightfutures-counseling.com/podcast-episodes/culture-of-kindness Conflict Resolution Counseling Group - From Pirates to Peacekeepers: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Conflict-Resolution-Counseling-Group-From-Pirates-to-Peacekeepers-3389446  Bullying Prevention Editable Guidance Lesson: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/BULLYING-PREVENTION-Editable-Guidance-Lesson-Video-and-Activity-3143641  Bringing Restorative Practices to Your School By Laura McClure: https://www.edutopia.org/article/bringing-restorative-practices-to-your-school-laura-mcclure  Check out the Kelso music video on YouTube: It's Your Choice Baby: https://kelsoschoice.com/zxxy572/  Join my school counselor membership IMPACT: https://www.stressfreeschoolcounseling.com/impact Connect with Rachel: Shop: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Bright-Futures-Counseling Blog: https://brightfutures-counseling.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightfuturescounseling/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2473191466030095 If you are enjoying School Counseling Simplified please follow and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/school-counseling-simplified-podcast/id1534494971
