The OfficeDepot Foundation –
the independent, nonprofit philanthropic arm of Office Depot -
in partnership with Brooks Gibbs, one of the nation’s leading youth
crisis counselors and bullying experts - is rolling out its “Be The
Difference. Speak Up Against Bullying!” program in middle schools across the
U.S. during the upcoming school year, with support from the global pop
sensation band One Direction and Office Depot.
Gibbs, author of the
book Love is Greater Than Hate, is conducting school assemblies for
students as well as anti-bullying education sessions for parents, teachers and
administrators around the nation throughout the school year. The campaign aims
to give students the confidence and courage to use the Golden Rule as a
strategy for reducing bullying. Gibbs’ “treat everyone like friends -
even your enemies” philosophy enhances One Direction’s message of “Live Nice.”
October is National
Bullying Prevention Month, and initiatives like the Office Depot Foundation’s
“Be The Difference. Speak Up Against Bullying!” program are working hard to put
an end to the bullying epidemic.
