  • Inspire entire communities to get involved with social change and promoting kindness, acceptance, and inclusion 

  • Offer classroom activities, toolkits, and lesson plans for educators 

  • Provide informative guides for parents to understand the dynamics of bullying, help their children through bullying situations, and learn how to communicate with school staff 

  • Educate students with age-appropriate resources and information to manage bullying situations, be supportive of their peers, and take action to prevent bullying in their school, community, and online

PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Month—October 

In 2006, PACER founded National Bullying Prevention Month, which is held annually during October. This month-long event is a time for communities nationwide to prevent bullying and promote kindness, acceptance and inclusion through events, activities & education. 

During National Bullying Prevention Month—and throughout the year—the community is encouraged to use these creative resources to engage, educate & inspire others to join the movement. Unity Day is the signature event of the month, a time to wear and share orange to show unity for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion and to send a visible message that no child should ever experience bullying.
