Bullying knows no boundaries - it can affect anyone, independent of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion and socioeconomic status. Media coverage has heightened our awareness of how common bullying is across our communities. No one should feel alone
and Beaumont Children's Hospital is committed to help.
No Bullying Live Empowered (NoBLE), a Beaumont Children's Hospital initiative, recognizes that all youth exposed to bullying are at risk for both immediate and lifelong problems. Whether someone is bullied, witnesses bullying or bullies others, it can
negatively impact their physical and mental health.
We provide integrated education, guidance and support for bullied children and families affected by bullying, as well as for youth and families exposed in other roles.
NoBLE also helps health care providers and community members understand the impact of bullying and see how we can all work together to address this critical issue. We partner with community organizations, locally and nationwide, to find innovative ways
to bring together families, schools and health care providers to help our children grow up in happy, healthy and safe environments. Current research efforts explore the different ways health care providers can help support children and families affected
by bullying.
Bullying Issues Mediation
NoBLE and the Oakland Mediation Center have teamed up to create a mediation program for parents and schools to resolve issues related to bullying behavior.
