Bullying Awareness & Prevention Week

January 29, 2026
As part of our ongoing commitment to fostering safe, caring, and inclusive schools, HWDSB will recognize Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week from November 17 to 21, 2025. Our focus continues year-round on building inclusive school communities where every student feels seen, valued, and supported.

We invite you to explore our Family Toolkit for practical strategies to help you talk with your child, recognize signs of bullying, and work with the school to address concerns. The toolkit also includes resources to support mental health and positive relationships at home and school.

Helpful Resources for Families:

PREVNet

School Mental Health Ontario

City of Hamilton Parenting and Bullying Supports

Please take some time this week to start a conversation with your child about kindness, inclusion, and what to do if they or someone they know is being bullied. Together, we can ensure every student feels safe and supported.
