An Anti-Bullying, Finding our Humanity & Decency Movement
Our Mission & Services
Teaching our children awareness of others, empathy, and inclusion in the learning environment.
Understanding that a love of learning can only happen at school when a child's mind is free of fear and anxiety.
Knowing that the emotional toll from overlooking these issues has already proven too great for many of our children.
It is our desire that all children feel safe, secure, and included in their school environments.
That our children are free to develop as unique individuals and become to their full potential.
We recognize that we have the ability and responsibility to provide the character lessons that facilitate and enhance all other learning.
Not just to impart knowledge. We can help create the landscape wherein knowledge makes us better human beings.
And we embrace this solemn obligation that comes with teaching our children.
Support for students and parents.
If you are being bullied at school, or even outside of school, by other students from school, TIES can help. We provide information and resources that you and your parents can use to address the situation appropriately, and resolve the bullying as quick as possible.
Professional Development for teachers, administrators, and staff.
Bullying behaviors continue to increase across the world, not only in terms of frequency, but also in severity. This is occurring despite the much attention and resources given to combat this behavior.TIES provides insight into the causes and strategies for creating emotionally intelligent schools.
Advocacy for bullied children and their families.
Have you tried to resolve a bullying situation but have become frustrated? Has the situation continued or become worse? Are you dealing with bullying and would like added support? Let our team of volunteers help.
Bullying Prevention Curriculum.
TIES provides Bullying Prevention curricula that has been written and designed to be used during the literacy block as informational text. A great way to teach your students concepts of character, empathy, and social awareness in an integrated learning format. Currently available for 3rd through 5th grade.
LIFT (Living Intelligently For our Tomorrows).
LIFT clubs are the natural next step in transforming your school environment. LIFT clubs take the concepts of intelligent emotions and put them into action. Let your students lead the way. Watch as they establish a community of caring that replaces a culture of casual cruelty.
Legislative efforts
Over the last twenty years, federal and state governments have recognized and enacted legislation to curb the increasing "silent epidemic" of bullying. Much of this added attention has benefitted our children and stemmed some of the rising tide. Still, there are steps that are needed and can be taken by our government leaders. Measured and thoughtful legislation is needed moving forward.
