Bullying can have a lasting impact on a child’s mental health, sense of safety, and ability to succeed in school. In Episode 11 of Beyond the Grove, we take a closer look at bullying in schools and what parents, educators, and communities can do to recognize it, address it, and support the children involved.

Our special guests, Dr. Christina Williams with Pine Grove Behavioral Health & Addiction Services and Darla McCarty with Oak Grove Schools in the Lamar County School District, discuss the warning signs of bullying, its emotional and behavioral effects, and the importance of creating safe spaces where students feel comfortable asking for help.

Join us for an important conversation about awareness, prevention, early intervention, and how working together can help every child feel seen, supported, and safe.

Remember—healing doesn’t stop here, and neither does hope.
