Bullying: How it can affect us
Many young people present with anxiety symptoms that may stem from experiences of bullying. This resource highlights common symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, avoidance and self-doubt. By making these effects visible, the resource aims to help young people recognise and validate their experiences while reassuring them that bullying is never their fault.
This tool is designed to support therapists in facilitating meaningful discussions and providing psychoeducation about the emotional toll of a potentially traumatic experience.
