Youth Violence / Relational Aggression

Sexual Harassment / Gender Bias

Bullying / Technobullying

The Continuum of Prejudicial Behavior
 
Our program provides participants a better grasp of how prejudices function and a look at how we have learned prejudices. Automatic prejudiced behaviors will be discussed.
NYS Hate Crimes Law
Our Hate Crimes program is designed to assist participants in learning the definition of a hate crime, understanding how hate crimes are different from other crimes and how to use available resources, including hate crime laws, to respond effectively within the community.
Stereotypes / Cultural Diversity
Our program provides participants with understanding of what stereotypes are, recognizing them, how it affects others and ourselves, unlearning stereotypes as well as enhancing skills for speaking up against stereotypes without blame or guilt.
We also provide participants with in-depth cultural awareness and understanding of the impact of cultural differences, the necessary foundation and tools to become culturally competent, the opportunity to enhance cultural sensitivity and practical tools to reduce cross-cultural misunderstanding and encourage positive cross-cultural relationships.
Gangs
Our program provides participants with statistics on gangs, definition and warning signs, reasons young people join gangs, gang identification, consequences and how to exit a gang and discouraging youth from joining gangs.
Youth Violence / Relational Aggression
 
Program discusses the common threads of at-risk and aggressive behavior among youth that leads to acting out and becoming violent. Understanding that alienation, exclusion or history of abuse contributes to outward frustration.
We also provide participants with the tools necessary to identify hidden behaviors of relational aggression. Discussion on how society places values on girls "being nice" instead of using physical violence and girls resorting to covert aggression.
Sexual Harassment / Gender Bias
Our program provides participants with statistics on gangs, definition and warning signs, reasons young people join gangs, gang identification, consequences and how to exit a gang and discouraging youth from joining gangs.
Bullying / Technobullying
Through our ABC Project (Agreements to end Bullying and Cyberbullying), our program educates young people about definition, statistics on who gets bullied, what to do if someone is bullied/cyberbullied, why bully/cyberbully occurs, the characteristics of a bully and what they do, the consequences of doing it, recognizing the signs, forms of cyberbullying, and the most important thing for youth is to learn that they are not alone and that they can do something positive about it.
* Upon completion of this request form I agree to the following:
  I agree to the distribution of BiasHELP, Inc. literature.
  I understand that I may not videotape or audiotape any speaker without prior written permission from BiasHELP.
  I agree to explain and enforce (to the best of my ability or with the help of others) BiasHELP’s expectation of the faculty/staff present to:
  •Provide organizational or disciplinary assistance if necessary.
•Model respectful demeanor, refraining from espousing personal opinions during the workshop that might be rude, pejorative or otherwise inflammatory.
  I understand that staff/faculty may be given the choice to fully participate in conversation, debate, or other activities to the extent which it will benefit them and/or the workshop. If this is not the case, however, they will be asked to excuse themselves or to unobtrusively observe.
