We’ve all read the articles, and we’ve seen the videos on youtube and other various media outlets, bullying is a huge issue 
among our school aged children. Approximately 160,000 students are absent from school each day nationwide due to fears of being bullied. The impact can be devastating on a child’s self esteem, academic performance and overall health.
Children’s Hospital Intervention and Prevention Services (CHIPS) is offering a free education and support group for children ages 12-15 that have been a victim of bullying. This 9 week series will meet weekly from 3:45pm to 5:15pm at the CHIPS center located at 1600 5th Avenue South, beginning on April 13th.
Sessions will be held by Registered Play Therapist Amy Ray, LPC, NCC and child and adolescent Psychiatry Fellow Theodore M Morgan II, MD.
While this service will be available free of charge, anyone wanting to participate must complete an application process.
Applications are available at www.chsys.org by clicking on “CHIPS CENTER” under “FEATURED SERVICES.” Once you have completed your application fax to: 205.558.2750 or mailed to: 1600 5th Ave South, Ste 100, Birmingham AL, 35233
