tree. Another way is by using a greeting card display stand. Have a kind corner
by adding extra pens, office supplies, or other duplicate everyday items that
all employees or students can use. Being helpful and being kind can be written
on a whiteboard as a reminder to prevent harassment or bullying. Take a break
from studying or from your job duties and spend time on complimenting with
kindness.

quotes, positive affirmations, or the words kindness and respect so everyone
can see it in the workplace or university. Help someone to feel accepted in a
group of friends, in the workplace, or in the university. Orange is the
selected color for acceptance and for showing support for preventing bullying.

are in the workplace. Additionally, blue is a calming color and orange makes
you feel positive.

spread kindness, respect, and acceptance is by using bullying prevention social
media graphics in your Zoom meetings. Bullying can occur which can be stopped

the paper butterflies on a white board, cork board, or on a poster board.
