The Government of Saskatchewan announced that it's providing $150,000 to the Canadian Red Cross Society and Saskatoon Restorative Action Program [RAP] to address bullying in schools.

The Canadian Red Cross is using the money for their "train the trainer" approach to support schools to incorporate strategies designed to reduce bullying and support students to build healthy relationships in their schools.

This funding will be used to help Red Cross reach Saskatchewan students with the education and tools needed to create safe and healthy environments.

Since 2013, the province has provided more than $470,000 to the Red Cross and RAP to support the government to fulfil the commitment outlined in Saskatchewan’s Action Plan to Address Bullying and Cyberbullying.

The plan guides the government's work to address bullying and provides students, families, and schools with knowledge, skills, resources, and support to help Saskatchewan children and youth feel safe and accepted.
