We know that kids and parents of all ages are concerned about bullying in schools.

In response, kids are told to ‘not be a bystander’ and to be kind to one another. These are wonderful messages but without the skills, confidence, and motivation to take action, many kids remain unsure of what to say, when to say it, and what to do if bullying behaviours continue. Most of us have huge fears around potential conflict. It takes a lot of courage to speak up when faced with unwanted behaviours. So where do we even start?! Well, that’s what Safety with Sam’s School Bullying Prevention & Response is all about.

In this prevention focused training video, Sam walks us through some typical bullying scenarios, giving kids the much needed courage and straightforward communication skills to confidently deal with bullying behaviours in a way that kids can feel comfortable doing. Sometimes, it just takes a few peers to show us that we can do it.

I would recommend alerting counsellors and vice principals, PAC and school board. All parents and schools are heavy into anti-bullying. I marvel at Sam’s easy going manner as an actor. She connects with the audience well. This video is fresh new relevant and hosted by a young person.

Sam and her production team did a wonderful job of creating a program that is interesting, entertaining and informative. Sam's approachable style, positive attitude and sense of humor provides watching what could be considered an important but uninteresting topic a burst of energy and fun that is endearing and memorable.

I will say something to others who are bullying instead of ignoring it. -- My favourite part was when she did the scenarios. -- Not boring. I liked that it is a young person teaching us.
