Video: Stop the Bully: How to Empower your Child

featuring Deb Toering, LPC, NCC, BCPCC

Deb Toering is a Board Certified Professional Christian Counselor (BCPCC) in private practice at Trinity Family Counseling Center.

In addition to working with a wide range of client populations and presenting issues, Deb is also an engaging public speaker. She has spoken in front of various groups across a range of topics including marriage, bullying, ADHD/ADD, and teen leadership.

Having raised three children of her own, Deb understands how difficult the teen years can be. Teens can find clarity by talking through the issues of peer pressure, bullying, dating, and the normal tensions with parents. She also loves working with college age students and young adults as they navigate career choices, dating relationships and their desire for independence.

The consequences of bullying are serious: depression, low self-esteem and anxiety, which can all lead to substance abuse and even suicide. Is there anything parents can do to prevent their children from being bullied? What action should be taken on behalf of the child who is being bullied?

Deb Toering will discuss the answers to these questions and more as she speaks about this very troublesome problem that keeps some children from going to school for fear of what will happen to them.
