According to the statement, NASW policy “clearly addresses the importance of the social work profession to ensure a school’s culture is free of intimidation or behaviors that can be viewed as harassing to students—including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students.”

In a recent article in Canadian Occupation Safety Magazine, CPI’s Bill Badzmierowski was quoted with regards to the workplace violence and harassment training–
“If someone gets in your face, your first impulse is to talk or hit back. But there are other things you can do and most people don’t know what they are.
