New Anti-Bullying Law

On May 3, Governor Patrick signed into law "An Act Relative to Bullying in Schools." The goal of this new law is to prevent bullying in all public and private schools in MA. HAWC is a resource on the North Shore for schools, parents and students. If you think you are being bullied and would like to talk to someone in confidence, please call our hotline at 800-547-1649. If you would like to learn more about school bullying, we recommend the MA Aggression Reduction Center's website.
