Supporting Bullied Children

with Dr. Marlene Seltzer, Director of No Bullying Live Empowered

Bullying knows no boundaries - it can affect anyone, independent of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion and socioeconomic status. Media coverage has heightened our awareness of how common bullying is across our communities. No one should feel alone and Beaumont Children's Hospital is committed to help. No Bullying Live Empowered (NoBLE), a Beaumont Children's Hospital initiative, recognizes that all youth exposed to bullying are at risk for both immediate and lifelong problems. Whether someone is bullied, witnesses bullying or bullies others, it can negatively impact their physical and mental health.
