The Health Resources and Services Administration's Maternal and Child Health Bureau would
like to acknowledge the contributions of various individuals and organizations in shaping
and implementing the National Bullying Prevention Campaign,
Take A Stand. Lend A Hand. Stop Bullying Now!
To begin, we wish to thank all of the members of our Partnership Steering Committees and
Implementation Working Groups. Representing organizational sectors that most frequently
confront bullying and related behaviors, these teams of experts have played an extensive
role in shaping the Campaign from its earliest stages. They include:
Partnership Steering Committees and Implementation Working Groups
Education
Health and Safety Organizations
Justice and Law Enforcement
Mental Health Organizations
Youth Organizations
Faith-Based Organizations
Several other groups have provided significant behind-the-scenes assistance to ensure that
the Campaign informs, reaches and resonates with adults and children across the country.
Their knowledge of the issue and their commitment to the success of this Campaign are
noteworthy.
