Bullying can cause enormous distress, often resulting in emotional damage, a lack of self esteem, depression and even suicide.

As a society, we are only now coming to a deeper awareness of the extent to which bullying of every kind occurs in the home, school, workplace and the community in general. Many victims feel trapped, desperate and emotionally crippled as a result of the horrific experience of bullying.

Ringsend Action Project (RAP) is addressing this problem with a seminar to examine the roots of the problem and identify effective strategies for confronting and dealing with bullying behaviour.

The Seminar runs over two evenings the first of which was on 18th October at 8 pm in Irishtown Stadium and the final one is on Tuesday 25th October. Rev. Dr. Tony Byrne will talk on ‘Bullying in the Workplace’ and Sr. Kathleen Maguire on ‘Bullying in the Home’. The evening will conclude with a 40 minute question and answer session.

All are welcome to attend.
