Amador County – The Amador County Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Commission and other local organizations sponsor a parent and student workshop, “Bully-Proofing Made Easy.”

Presenter Israel “Izzy” Kalman is nationally renowned in teaching people how to deal with anger, bullying, and relationship problems. Kalman is the creator of the website “Bullies to Buddies” and an author of books about the subjects.

Parents and students in the workshop will learn how to reduce bullying with less time and effort; ways to enhance students’ self-confidence, resilience and maturity; simple responses that dramatically reduce aggression between kids. Attendees will learn the psychological value of the Golden Rule, freedom of speech, and humor; and how to reduce bullying among kids with little effort.

Kalman’s workshop is sponsored by Amador County Juvenile Justice Commission, whose goal is to be a public forum in the interests of justice for children and youth and delinquency prevention to provide leadership for citizen action.

Also sponsoring the workshop is Amador County Friday Night Live, a youth leadership program that gives kids an opportunity to be actively involved in youth leadership skills-building and drug-and-alcohol prevention activities.

Amador-Tuolumne Community Action Agency is also sponsoring the “Bully-Proofing Made Easy” Parent and Student Workshop, which is set for 6-8 p.m. Monday, April 23 in the Multi-Purpose Room at Argonaut High School. The session is open to parents and their children in fifth to 12th grades.
