Pink Shirt Day Promotes Kindness over Bullying Bullying, harassment, intimidation, belittling, shaming, discrimination... it takes many forms. It is one of the most prevalent hurtful behaviours and least spoken about experiences in our schools, workplaces and communities. The results can be devastating, including severe mental health illness and even suicide among those who are targeted. #PinkShirtDay2021 aims to change our culture of acceptance by silence to send the messa...ge that as a community we will not tolerate any form of bullying or harassment. The Canadian Institutes for Health Research reports: - One in three adolescent students and as many adults say they have been bullied. - 7% of adult Internet users in Canada report experiencing cyber-bullying at some point in their life - 40% of Canadian workers experience bullying on a weekly basis If you experience bullying, contact: - 24 hour Bullying Help Line 1-888-456-2323 for adults or kids - Bullying Canada call or text 1-877-352-4497 or email [email protected] for kids For resources and information, including contacts to report bullying, check out the Government of Alberta website.
