Join us at this free showing of the film, 'The Upstanders' which explores all sides of bullying. The Columbia Association Art Center is showcasing this film to raise awareness about this important topic. The documentary details information about brain science, to how it plays out from subtle scenarios, to full blown bullying. Social media’s power means that bully behavior is now a 24/7 phenomenon, where even changing schools, jobs and phone numbers, or deleting accounts cannot stop the cycle. COVID has increased the incidence of cyber-bullying by 70%. The Upstanders film program shares safe proven strategies and is rooted in character building. It inspires kindness, honesty, respect, empathy, trust and connection.
