Bully Free GCHS
GCHS strives to be a bully-free campus! Our school also contributes to the Youth Voices Speak Out each school year.
Youth Voices Speak Out is a community forum on prevention, well-being and resiliency. The event will feature information on mental health, substance abuse and bullying from the school district’s school-based therapists, as well as tips and tools for parents.
Listen on KZMU -
Local guidance counselors Marva Lewis and Derrick Cook drop by the KZMU studios to talk about the serious issues some students grapple with – bullying, substance abuse, depression and thoughts of suicide. They say an event next week – Youth Voices Speak Out – aims to shed light on these issues while also highlighting the resources the school district has available. Expect student performances and a question and answer session with Grand County’s school based therapists. Tune in to learn more.
Every October, individuals from across the nation – and around the world – unite in a campaign to keep all youth safe from bullying.
The campaign is a catalyst for:
- Involving a nation to take action at the local level to create safe and supportive schools
- Offering information and education about how everyone can prevent bullying
- Providing a platform to hold school and community events
- Sharing information about the issue through news media, social media, videos and print publications
- Talking with education and public policy leaders about their roles in bullying prevention
- Promoting dialogue between educators, parents and students on their roles in addressing and preventing bullying
- Encouraging organizations to share information about their bullying prevention resources
- Inspiring everyone to unite for kindness, acceptance and inclusion
- Helping to create a world without bullying
