"Teen Bullying: Is It Stoppable?"

The National Council of Jewish Women/Los Angeles (NCJW/LA), City of West Hollywood, and Gay Straight Alliance Network are co-sponsoring this free community event to educate the public about a hazard that can cause serious emotional harm to children lasting much longer than a bloody nose or scraped knee. Teenagers who are being bullied may develop physical illnesses, nightmares, nervousness and anxiety, and even become suicidal.

Moderated by Pat Harvey, news anchor for CBS2/KCAL9, this educational program will feature a panel discussion of experts who will address whether there is any solution to bullying, signs to watch for, and what to do when you see someone being bullied.

The scheduled panelists include:

·  Gail Rolf, Education Director of Friends of Project 10

·  Daniel Solis, Southern California Program Manager of the Gay Straight Alliance Network

·  Holly Prieve-Diaz, MSW, Intervention Coordinator of the Los Angeles Unified School District

·  Sara Train, Education Manager of The Trevor Project

·  Bev Meyer, Advisor for the Fairfax High School Safe School Ambassadors Program

·  A student from Fairfax High School
