Easton, Maryland – Dr. Susan Swearer, professor of school psychology and co-director of the Bullying Research Network, based out of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will present a discussion on bullying to the community at-large on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, at The Country School in Easton, Md. Her talk will include how to manage difficult situations within a school environment and also how to encourage positive behavior from students.
Over the past decade, Dr. Swearer, a licensed psychologist, has collected data and conducted staff training in elementary, middle, and high schools, with the goal of helping school personnel establish cost-effective and data-based strategies to reduce bullying behaviors. Her Target Bullying Intervention Program has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning and she was an invited presenter at the most recent White House Bullying Prevention Conference. She has authored over 100 book chapters and articles on the topics of bullying, depression, and anxiety in school-aged youth and is the co-author of the recently published book, Bullying Prevention and Intervention: Realistic Strategies for Schools (Swearer, Espelage, & Napolitano, 2009). In addition, she has co-edited two other bullying-related books.
Neil Mufson, The Country School’s headmaster remarks, “Dr. Swearer has worked with our faculty on these important topics, and while she will work with our teachers again on this visit, we also recognize the importance of strong education for parents on matters related to bullying. We are fortunate that Dr. Swearer will return to our school and also address the greater community about this priority issue.”
The presentation will begin at 7 pm at The Country School in Easton, Maryland, located at 716 Goldsborough Street. Reservations are not required and admission to the event is free.
