Mental Health and Bullying – The Impact
Summary
One in four people experience a mental health problem. While not all are a result of bullying behavior, simply having a mental health problem can lead to a person being bullied. We need to be more aware of the damage bullying behavior causes. We need to speak out when we see it happening. We need to do this because it saves lives.
