Bullying and Disability Harassment in the Workplace: What Youth Should Know
Posted: 10/6/2011
This InfoBrief was developed by PACER Center in partnership with the National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability for Youth. The InfoBrief is designed to help youth, including youth with disabilities, recognize signs of bullying in the workplace. It offers examples of bullying situations at work and strategies to help address the issue. Much is understood about the negative consequences of bullying at school, but youth should also be made aware that bullying does not always end at school and is often encountered at work.
PACER's National Bullying Prevention Month is referenced in the story, "When Bullying Backfires: Student with Aspergers Voted Homecoming Princess".
