Speaking Engagements & Workshops
The program can be for students (all ages), educators, parents, the community, or a combination. It can also be as long or short as you’d like it to be. We tailor the programs to fit your needs. There can be more than one program in a day – addressing different groups in different assemblies. We’ll also be sure to address within the program the topics and issues that are most relevant and important to you.
Please email and tell us what you are interested in. Also, please send us a date or dates so we can check our calendar and reserve it for you, and also any questions you might have — so we can begin working on an educational Bullying Program that will meet your needs.

Dr. Jay Carter’s Bullying Program is based on the research of the American Psychological Association and Dr. Olweus. The evidence-based Olweus Bullying Prevention Program has been successfully used for more than 25 years and has had significant results in decreasing bullying behaviors among children grades K-12. It focuses on changing behaviors that lead to an improvement in school and a reduction in anti-social behaviors. The four main components of this program are: Individual Interventions, Classroom Interventions, School-wide Interventions, and Community Interventions.
