Testimonial
Every child can identify with “Helping Drew”, whether they are the bully, the child being bullied, or the bystander. "Helping Drew" creates a friendly environment for discussing peer-to-peer aggression and provides children with a solution. This is the best anti-bullying program I have seen offered!
