A Conversation with the Clementis
Engaging Families: Turning Bystanders into Upstanders
7-9pm Tonight
Columbia High School auditorium, 17 Parker Ave.,
North Jersey Pride, in association with The Tyler Clementi Foundation, the Spectrum Club at Columbia High School, and GLSEN, invite you to a very special community discussion about bullying and ways to empower families to help our children.
Joe and Jane Clementi and The Tyler Clementi Foundation, along with
other panelists, will host a conversation about what they experienced
when their son Tyler committed suicide following a much publicized
episode of bullying, and will talk about the journey they have been on
to help other vulnerable youth who are struggling to reach a different
outcome.
Engaging proactive conversations amongst youth, families and their
extended communities is crucial to creating change. After a brief
introduction of the Foundation, its work and how it came to be, TCF will
be discussing the roles of bullying, opportunities for engaging the
bystander as an effective strategy to combat bullying, and creating safe
and inclusive environments for LGBT youth, vulnerable youth their
families and their allies.
Help us get the word out: download the event flyer and send it to your friends and family. Let’s make this a community event to remember.
