Bullying, Cyberbullying and Youth Depression

John Halligan’s son, Ryan, died by suicide on October 7, 2003, after being bullied by classmates at school and online. He was 13 years old.

John Halligan will discuss the lessons his family learned too late regarding how to deal with bullying, cyberbullying and teen depression. Parents will be empowered with strategies to take preventive actions with their own children.
