Since research has shown a correlation between bullying and addiction for both the bully and the individual bullied, NCADD has stocked various bullying-related materials in our resource centers, and developed presentations for students and educators on bullies, harassment or assault. Anyone interested in learning more about these topics can take advantage of our online course “Bullying, Harassment and Intimidation in Schools” in the Professional Development Training for Educators section at www.ncadd-elearning.org.
