In this session, participants will be offered a brief overview of the definition, incidence, characteristics and types of senior-to-senior bullying. The impact of bullying is detrimental to the health and well-being of our seniors. Even one instance can have a lasting impact! Therefore, it is not enough just to define bullying – communities need to know the warning signs, the physical and emotional impact, and what to do if it happens to them. Therefore, participants will be introduced to interventions they can apply to reduce bullying as well as specific and targeted recommendations for what staff and others can say to the bully to mitigate impact and minimize occurrence. In this interactive session, participants will learn key evidence-based strategies for confronting and communicating with a bully. Approaches include empathy, questioning, confrontation, deontology, acknowledgement, and others. Several case examples will be offered with opportunities for participants to brainstorm approaches and dialogue about advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Many people struggle with what to say to a bully to stop their behavior. There is no one “right” answer to this issue. But at the conclusion of the session, participants will have additional tools in their communication toolbox
