A conference set to begin Wednesday is focusing on school bullying and violence and its prevention.
"Standing Up To Bullying" was organized by Building Strong Families National Seminars in response to the rise of this type of harassment in schools.
Organizers said they designed the conference to empower and equip school administrators, educators, social workers, counselors, psychologists, and other professionals who work with children with skills and tools designed to recognize, minimize or eradicate school bullying and violence.
