The Alberti Center for Bullying Abuse Prevention was a co-sponsor of UB’s 15th annual Safe Schools Initiative Seminar held March 20 on the North Campus. The center is directed by Amanda Nickerson, professor from the Department of Counseling, School and Educational Psychology and has become a valuable resource in local and national discussions on bullying, school violence and safety issues for children. One of the goals of the seminar, “Collaborating to Address Safety and Mental Health Issues, and to Recover from Crisis,” was to help participants who experience school-based tragedies.
