National anti-bullying group to give May 10 talk in Carson City

Carson City will host a presentation on bullying by a Philadelphia-based nonprofit agency that works around the country with educators, parents and law enforcement.

Members of Teach Anti-Bullying, Inc. will discuss what many say is a national crisis affecting communities across the country. The Saturday, May 10 presentation, Bullying: The Silent Threat, will be presented from 10 a.m. to noon at the Brewery Arts Center, 449 West King Street, in Carson City.

The arrangement to bring the group was made after retired Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Michael "Sean" Giurlani decided that an anti bullying program was needed and reached out to Teach Anti Bullying, Inc.

Although there is no funding to bring TAB to Carson City, Dr. Claudio V. Cerullo, founder and executive director of TAB, offered to come to provide a free Give back program to the community, during a critical time.

Speakers will include Dr. Claudio Cerullo, the founder and President of Teach Anti-Bullying, Inc., as well as Ms. Daniela Redpath, the organization’s vice president, who will discuss how bullying affects children with hidden disabilities such as her son David.

Teach Anti-Bullying, Inc. was launched in November 2011 out of Dr. Cerullo’s growing concern for the issue of bullying in America both in the classroom and in the community. Having addressed over 15,000 school students, teachers, and parents nationally, that have been, or are being affected by, bullying, Teach Anti-Bullying, Inc. continues to raise awareness and support, while encouraging the collaboration of all stakeholders — children, educators, parents, community leaders, law enforcement, and local, state and federal legislators — in the pro-active intervention against bullying as well as the prevention of bullying in schools.

Dr. Claudio Cerullo brings more than 22 years of professional experience in education to Teach Anti-Bullying, Inc., active in addressing the great need for anti-bullying awareness, and prevention, nationwide, as a result of parents asking him to help students that are being impacted academically, socially and emotionally by this silent threat.

Internationally recognized as an expert on the subject of Anti-Bullying, Dr. Cerullo has provided many workshops on issues regarding Classroom Management, Student Behavior Modification, Character Education, and School Violence Prevention programs K-12.

Teach Anti Bullying, Inc. has lectured at many local, state, and regional education forums and conferences, as well as being invited to the White House on two occasions as expert panelist on the issue of school violence and anti bullying prevention among schools.
