Policies and Laws
As of March 2014, most U.S states have enacted
legislation requiring school districts to adopt policies
regarding bullying. State and local lawmakers have
taken action to prevent bullying and protect children.
Through laws (in their state education codes and elsewhere) and model policies (that provide
guidance to districts and schools), each state addresses bullying differently. Find out how your
state refers to bullying in its laws and what they require on part of schools and districts.

Future Child Advocates of America (FCAA)
The overall goal of the FCA student organization/club is to demonstrate
and provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students
to become more aware of the issues involving the abuse and
bullying of children, especially those who are more vulnerable, i.e.
those with disabilities or who are considered "different". The
clubs are also designed to develop skills and leadership that will be
useful for next generation professionals to provide assistance to their
communities and make a difference.
