presented by 
Dr. Michael Boroughs
Clinical Psychologist at Massachusetts General
 
Touhy Forum
April 23rd
6-8pm

Given the vast recent media attention to bullying among young adults, how does bullying and teasing affect victims, and how might the negative impact of bullying be addressed?  This talk will synthesize the research into bullying and teasing among young adults, including older adolescents and college-age adults, as an antecedent to a myriad of negative health outcomes including substance abuse, depression, suicidality, trauma, and risk taking behaviors. At the end of the presentation, attendees will better understand the similarities and differences between bullying and other types of victimization, the prevalence of these behaviors, particularly among sexual minorities or those perceived to be a sexual minority individual, and evidence-based efforts to address this problem at both the institutional and individual levels.
