According to the CDC, 1 in 6 children

diagnosed mental, behavioral, or
developmental disorder.

widespread condition through these
curricula.

mental illness and reducing the attached stigma.
2Tough2Bully serves as a method to
educate, empower, and motivate
children to be brave enough to speak up
and take action against bullying in a
positive way.
The name of the program refers to the
development of an internal toughness that
empowers individuals to neither bully or
allow themselves to be bullied.
The following are examples of covered topics in the 2 programs: an introduction to mental health,
mood disorders, suicide prevention, anxiety disorders, behavioral and personality disorders,
severe mental health, physical issues and mental health, human relations and group dynamics.
The curricula provide educators
with pre-packaged and
structured lessons.
Each course includes videos,
presentations, lesson plans, and
class activities to enhance and
reinforce covered topics.
