El acoso puede afectar a todos: a quienes son acosados, a quienes acosan y a quienes son testigos del acoso. El acoso está relacionado con muchas consecuencias negativas, como el impacto en la salud mental, el uso de sustancias y el suicidio. It’s important to talk to kids to determine whether bullying—or something else—is a concern. Kids who are bullied can experience negative physical health, school, and mental health issues. Marci Hertz trabaja en los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades en el Sector de Práctica de la Prevención y Traducción de la División de Prevención de la Violencia. Marci oversees CDC’s efforts related to youth violence prevention, including the STRYVE initiative (Striving to Reduce Youth Violence Everywhere).
