About the program
SHIELD Against Bullying co-founders Brian Stanton and Shelby Creech were interviewed on Orlando’s WESH news about their experiences with bullying and the benefits of the SHIELD Against Bullying program.
There’s No One Right Response
Bullying looks different in every situation. Sometimes the safest choice is to walk away, speak up, support someone else, or involve a trusted adult.
If someone is in immediate physical danger, they may need to protect themselves long enough to get to safety.
SHIELD helps kids recognize what’s happening and choose a safe, appropriate response.
