Have you been bullied? [advertiser.ie]
- Published: 29 June 2011
A new televison series is to highlight bullying among young people, and is seeking those who have experience of bullying in an attempt to help them share and relinquish their anxieties. The three part series is due to be broadcast in March 2012 and renowned clinical psychologist David Coleman wants to offer his expertise and therapeutic support to a number of young people who have been affected by bullying, either as a victim or as a bully.
As well as offering counselling, Coleman will use practical steps in an attempt to help these teens and pre-teens gain perspective on their bullying experiences and show them ways to build their self-esteem. His ultimate aim is to help them try to move beyond this negative period in their lives.
But there is more to this series than Coleman’s therapeutic support for these teens. He wants to explore the various forms of bullying that exist today, to help the audience understand the causes of bullying, and offer practical steps that adults and teens can use to identify bullying, address the issue, and help teens to cope with it. Coleman will also look beyond Ireland to get first hand experience of innovative ideas, being used abroad, which might work here.
