Dear Friends,
I’m delighted to let you know that we’ve launched our new Anti-Bullying Poster — co-created with teachers and children in Eswatini. This project grew from our HIV prevention work there and has become something powerful.Together with local headteachers, we explored how bullying affects children’s lives and how schools can help them feel safe, included and
supported.
The poster and guide are helping teachers run discussions and activities that spark kindness, empathy and teamwork in the classroom. It’s been heartwarming to see how children are using these messages to look out for one another — and to stand up for those who need a friend.
You can download the Anti-Bullying Poster for free here: https://www.childrenforhealth.org/anti-bullying-poster.
All our posters are made for teachers, parents, youth workers, and anyone helping children learn and share life-saving messages. They’re all double-sided, easy to print in A3, and free to use.
We’re proud that our posters and other resources are now being downloaded thousands of times every month in over 140 countries! It’s amazing to see how the idea that children can be powerful health messengers keeps spreading.
Please share this link to our resources with colleagues or friends who might like to use the posters too. And if you have thoughts or ideas for future topics — we’d love to hear from you.
Warm wishes,
Clare Hanbury
