From Prevention to Intervention
Know the signs. Know your rights. Know how to step in.
The Vice Rectorate for Integral Human Development (VRIHD) at Antonine University (UA) invites students, faculty, and staff to “SPEAK UP: Bullying and Harassment,” an awareness session led by Dr. Nahla Harb, Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist.
The session will also feature Dr. Huguette Abou-Mrad, Director of UA’s Language Center, who will present the University’s new Regulations on Combating Harassment and Discrimination.
Together, these presentations aim to help participants recognize bullying and harassment, understand their rights, and learn how to respond appropriately, contributing to a safer and more respectful university environment.

Through this interactive session, participants will learn how to:
- Recognize bullying and harassment, understand their defining characteristics, and distinguish them from other forms of conflict.
- Identify warning signs that someone may be experiencing or engaging in bullying behavior.
- Respond appropriately by understanding how to report concerns and intervene safely.
