Kidsbridge Offers Programs for Children and Adults to Prevent Bullying, Bias and Racism

On Apr 21, 2021

Lynne Azarchi, executive director and founder of the Kidsbridge Tolerance Center in Ewing, believes that before we teach others about tolerance, diversity appreciation, respect, empathy and other related issues, we must first educate ourselves. That is why Kidsbridge is offering new Lunch & Learn webinar sessions for business employees.

The sessions are all based on using the lens of empathy for better tackling bullying, bias and racism. The webinars offer the following focus topics:

• Bullying Prevention, Empathy & UPstanders
• Anti-racism, Empathy & UPstanders
• Media literacy, Empathy & UPstanders
• Asian-American Bias, Empathy & UPstanders

The sessions last one hour, conclude with a question and answer segment, and can be offered at any designated time.

According to Lenora Green, executive director, Center for Advocacy and Philanthropy at Educational Testing Service (ETS), “Through the Kidsbridge presentation, not only did our employees learn how to help their children more with bullying prevention, but in a fun and interactive format, they learned how to make our workplace more inclusive and welcome for everyone.”
