Program Offers to Put Audience "Inside the Mind of the Bully"

The following release was submitted by the Wyckoff YMCA: 

The Wyckoff Family Y is pleased to announce a “Parent Connection” presentation on bullying for parents on Thursday, March 21 at 7 p.m. in the Y’s Lake House at 691 Wyckoff Avenue in Wyckoff.

Psychiatrist Steve Wruble will de-mystify the game plan of the bully. Viewing the game from the bully’s point of view helps kids, teens and adults understand the target-seeking behavior of a bully. Dr. Wruble will also talk about the way that various reactions by the victim can intensify the psychological and emotional impact of teasing and bullying.

Dr. Steven Wruble is a board certified child and adult psychiatrist and is presently the executive medical director of the Venn Center, which provides individual, group and family psychotherapy.

There is no charge for this event. Pre-register by calling the Y at 201-891-2081. For further information, contact Parent Connection Coordinator, Kathy Scarpelli at 201-891-1820.
