How to not get your ass kicked. . . Get
involved!
The BC Safe Schools Centre is a central source of information, resources, training, referrals and examples of successful practices in addressing safe school and community issues, including bullying and violence prevention. It serves youth, parents, educators, police, youth-serving organizations and community members throughout BC. For more information visit http://www.safeschools.gov.bc.ca/ or call 1-888-224-SAFE (7233). For an index of youth services in Vancouver, Watari has developed a useful guide which is available online at http://watari.org/sm.htm. The online guide is only an index; it does not have all the contact information, but you can get a hard copy of the guide (a funky little spiral bound book!) by contacting Watari at info@watari.org. "Safety is everybody's responsibility" This is the first "Guiding Principle" from the "Focus on Harassment and Intimidation" resources developed by the British Columbia Ministry of Education. View a Power Point presentation from the Ministry of Education or visit their web site for more information on how to "live violence free," http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/live_vf/ .
