The Lasting Impact of Bullying on Children

Bullying is more than just hurtful words or actions—it can leave scars that last well beyond childhood. Whether it happens in school hallways, on the playground, or online, bullying disrupts a child’s sense of safety and belonging, often shaping the way they see themselves and the world around them.

At Child Guidance Resource Centers (CGRC), our mission is driven by our core values: Respect, Compassion, Integrity, Efficiency, Excellence, and Quality. These values guide our approach to mental health and educational services, ensuring that every child, family, and community we serve receives the highest level of care and support.

We recognize that fostering a sense of belonging is essential for individuals facing mental health challenges. When clients see themselves reflected in their therapists, educators, and support systems, it fosters trust, comfort, and openness—essential elements for healing and growth.

For our clients of color, having a therapist who shares their racial or cultural background can be particularly impactful.
