Who is Blueskies?

Hello everyone,

If you don't know who we are, I'd like to take a moment to introduce us. Blueskies Wellness, Inc. is a non-profit bullying prevention agency which opened on August 29th, 2011. We are all about healthy change. Blueskies Wellness, Inc. believes that there needs to be a huge change in our attitudes, our crisis management, and our behavior when it comes to deal with bullying in and out of schools. We believe this is possible because we help make these changes every day. Our main focus is to end bullying by teaching children, teachers, families, administrators, and other professionals how to manage and reduce bullying. We believe that every child has a right to learn in a safe and distraction-free environment. By no means is it okay for a child to avoid going to school because he or she fears for her safety.

Bullying stems from a perceived imbalance of power. We work to eradicate that imbalance. Blueskies offers a variety of options including but not limited to; workshops, training, individual counseling, consulting, parent support groups, and mentoring.

Blueskies pride's itself in partnering with the community and existing programs to provide the best and most comprehensive bullying prevention services available. We understand that it is imperative to work together to give each child, each person the kind of guidance and care they deserve.



PAST EVENTS

In August of 2011, Blueskies opened up an office in Lawrence, MA. There, we began to work at changing the lives of students that were too afraid to go to school. In March of 2012 we moved our headquarters to Methuen, but our presence in Lawrence remains. We have had several events allowing the community to get to know us such as a Provider's Harvest Mixer in late October, several fundraisers in Salem, NH and Haverhill, MA, and an Open House event here in our Methuen office in late April.

We are excited to keep working in the summer and are continuing to provide workshops and training for teachers and individuals working with youth through summer camps and youth organizations and clubs. Look forward to our coming events and our presence in the community through expositions and fairs!

Together we can end bullying and create safe environments one child, family, school, and community at a time.
