Cyber-bullying Information Night
 
The SRLA H.S.A. presents a screening of the nationally-acclaimed documentary
 
The Upstanders
Building Resilience and Empathy to Stand Against Cyber-bullying
 
Wednesday, May 11, 2022 at 7:00 pm
St. Rose of Lima Church
 
The screening is followed by a presentation and Q&A by Millburn Township Detective Socrates Barbosa.
The Upstanders examines cyber-bullying from the perspectives of the bully, the victim and the onlooker, providing practical tips and resources to change the narrative—to stand up, speak out and support—and become an Upstander, not a Bystander.
 
Parents and children ages 10+ are welcome to attend. The film is rated for children 10+ only.
