Part of a program to prevent school bullying is simply talking about it.
David Levine created the weekly program, which he runs at P.S./M.S. 20 and at several other schools in the city and the suburbs. He calls it, “Teaching Empathy”.
“Empathy is the capacity to imagine what someone else is going through, as a first step, and then making a choice to offer support,” said David Levine, a behavior specialist.
