Adolescent Bullying Series
Bullying is a phenomenon that impacts many individuals, particularly adolescents and children. Experiences with bullying often leave long-lasting mental and emotional impacts for victims. Thus, Dr. Ballard curated an anti-bullying seminar that not only identifies causes of bullying but encourages positive self-expression as a means of decreasing the occurrence.
This seminar series was inspired by Dr. Ballard's own childhood experiences with bullying and incorporates evidence from her doctoral dissertation which explored factors that influence bullying victimization for Black adolescents from a socioecological perspective.
