Carolyn Male MP, State Member for Pine Rivers, would like to make people aware that leading psychologist and bullying expert, Dr Michael Carr-Gregg will be conducting a bullying seminar for parents on 5 August at the Broncos Leagues Club, Red Hill, from 6.30-8.30pm.

Carolyn Male MP said that the Action Against Bullying forums are the first major initiative of the Queensland Schools Alliance Against Violence.

“Queenslanders can benefit from Dr Carr-Gregg’s practical advice about tackling the complex bullying issue.”

“The Bligh Government takes bullying in our schools and online very seriously which is why we have invited Dr Carr-Gregg to Queensland to share his insights,” Carolyn Male MP said.

“This is a unique opportunity to hear from a bullying expert and I would encourage all parents to attend these forums.”

“The seminars are open to all school sectors - state, Catholic and independent - and are an initiative of the special bullying taskforce, the Queensland Schools Alliance Against Violence.”

“During the forums, Dr Carr-Gregg will work with parents to help break the bullying cycle.”

“A strong focus of his forums will also be cyber safety, an issue that continues to grow as online technologies and social networking become more popular with young people,” Carolyn Male MP said.
