This is Anti-Bullying week. Although we tend to think of bullying associated with children and teens, it can occur at all ages.

The anti-bullying alliance defines bullying as “The repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. Bullying can be physical, verbal or psychological. It can happen face-to-face or online”.

The effects of bullying can lead to anxiety, depression and self-harming plus other physical and mental symptoms.

There are books available to give advice for all ages. Bookshop.org hold a range of publications providing help and a small selection is given below.
