Bullying in School: What Parents Should Know

Thursday, January 14, 2010 from 7- 8 P.M. at the Willoughby Wallace Memorial Library
146 Thimble Islands Road, Stony Creek, CT 06405
Speaker: Young-Shin Kim, M.D., Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Yale Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine

School bullying is a common form of school violence. In the past people felt this was part of normal growing and does not leave any consequence. Is that really true? Dr. Kim will review cumulative scientific evidence examining the psychological consequences of bullying either as a victim, perpetrator or victim-perpetrator. She will also discuss the relationship between psychopathology and suicide. Dr. Kim's major research efforts include:

1. The social and psychopathological consequences of school bullying;
2. Epidemiology of childhood onset neuropsychiatric disorders; and,
3. The genetics and genetic epidemiology of childhood onset neuropsychiatric disorders.
