Sask. Roughrider delivers Beyond the Hurt program at SMVS
Saskatchewan Roughrider Dan Clark was at Senator Myles Venne School this afternoon encouraging students to imagine a world without bullying.
Clark spent the day speaking to students in Grades 5 to 12 delivering the Beyond the Hurt program in conjunction with the Canadian Red Cross. He talked about bullying and harassment in schools, as well as shared personal stories of his own experience with those topics.
“We establish what bullying is, and what the difference is between someone being mean or rude at one time to it becoming repeated,” Clark said. “I think the biggest one we are working on with students as well to make a big change is not only the bullying that’s happening in the playground or in the schools, but the bullying that’s happening on the internet.”
The main focus of the presentation was about bullying, healthy relationships, and stress management. If students are having problems in either one of those three issues, Clark said there is always a support system that should be available to help.
