“Distributed” workshops to help the harassed children. They are offered in Geneva by the Geneva Association Couple & Famille. A first cycle started in January.
How to help children victims of school harassment?
The Geneva Association Couple & Family has implemented a new wrestling program with “distributed” workshops. The first cycle of five weeks started ten days ago, others will follow later in the year. The objective is to give these young people to defend themselves, find solutions to react differently and strengthen their confidence. Speech times, group games and role -playing games allow us to approach harassment situations in a very concrete way.
Florence Dessuet, co -director of the couple and family association Geneva, explains the progress of this first cycle of workshops:

-What tools are used to help these young people? Anna Rossman:
Among the participants in the January and February workshops, there is a Geneva mother, Emma. Her 12 -year -old son has been harassment for several years at school. He is targeted by his comrades because he is big, just bigger than the average of children his age. The troubles started several years ago between the 3 and 4 P. After a move, the young boy changed school but once again, he was the target of mockery.
Emma, her mother, returns to her story:
When she discovers the situation, Emma feels helpless:

The association can also offer therapeutic support.
