Bullying No Way Week: National week of action.

The week of 12 to 16 August 2024, is The National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence, which is Australia’s key bullying prevention initiative and connects schools and communities to find workable solutions to prevent bullying.

The National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence has a new name—Bullying No Way: National week of action.

The theme for 2024 is ‘Everyone belongs’.

When we all feel like we belong, bullying struggles to find a place. It is about embracing who we are, respecting everyone’s differences and standing up together against unkindness.

Belonging means we all have a role in preventing bullying. We are encouraged to speak up and create a safe place where everyone feels supported and respected, and our voices are heard and valued.

Understanding Child Mental Health

Children and young people with positive mental health feel good about themselves.

They’re able to build relationships and express themselves. They can also deal with challenges and adapt to change.

Children’s mental health moves along a continuum. Like an adult’s.

‘Continuum’ means that a child’s mental health is not fixed. It can move along a range from healthy to struggling, and back again.

While most children experience positive mental health, a child can also struggle. They can develop a mental health condition.

It’s important to seek support early.
