The Bully Project: Milan H.S. Peer Mediation / Life Saver's Program

The Bully Project movie released in April 2012 has opened the eyes of school administrators, teachers, students, parents, and communities across the country. Michigan's "Matt's Safe School Law" was signed into law providing a road map for schools to follow on addressing bullying in their schools and the reporting process. 

On May 5th 2012, schools throughout Washtenaw County were provided access to see the movie at the Rave Cinema in Pittsfield Township and sponsored by Sam's Club of Ypsilanti MI. Pittsfield Township D.P.S. host agency and municipality coordinated the viewing and there were two panel discussions prior to the showing. One with adults and elected officials and the second with youth from the local schools. 

The Bully Project movie will be available for purchase in Feburary 2013. Go to www.bullyproject.com for more details.

The Milan Police Department's School Resource Officer (S.R.O.) and students from Milan High School's message about their "Peer Mediation and Life Saver's" program were outstanding and featured in a Prevention Corner TV Show special.
