200 students listen as Auxilliary RCMP Constable Lisa Striker praises their participation in the BRAVE program
Prince George, B.C.- Today, more than 200 grade students at Heather Park Middle School, officially graduated from the B.R.A.V.E. program.
BRAVE stands for Bully Resistance and Violence Education and is a program that was developed in Prince George following the murder of a young man on the grounds of College Heights Senior Secondary School in 1997. It is thought bullying was an element which lead to that death.
For Auxiliary Constable Lisa Striker, this is a special graduation class. She has taught the program at Heather Park for the past three years, and that means, every student at Heather Park Middle School has now been trained in B.R.A.V.E. The program works with students to talk about the impacts of bullying, building self esteem, internet safety and how to identify and resist bullying.

Heather Park Middle School is now the only school in B.C. in which all current students have graduated from the B.R.A.V.E. program.
