Current Initiatives

To reduce the impacts of bullying and harassment on the mental health of school-aged children, the Mental Health Foundation of West Michigan launched the Be Nice Initiative. As part of the program, students learn that the things they say and do have real and lasting effects on others. Be Nice encourages children to diffuse negative situations with positive thoughts, words, and actions. Children also learn how positivity can make them feel better about themselves, as well as make someone else's day brighter.5
