>> Hey there, welcome back to PACERTalks About Bullying. I'm Bailey [assumed spelling] , we're glad you're here.

We are so excited to be starting Season 2 of PACERTalks About Bullying. This is our weekly video series where we bring you information content, interviews, and so much more. It's been about four months since we've seen you and we've been up to so much here at PACER. In this week's episode we're going to share a little with you about what we've been up too as well as what to expect from this season. Now follow me.

The past four months have flown by. We kicked off this summer with a fourth annual United Awards that we held right here at PACER. Now this is an event that's planned by our youth advisory board to celebrate individuals and groups who help create a world without bullying. This one of my absolute favorite events that we have. Now one really excited activity that we released at this event was called Every Step You Take. Attendees traced their own footprint and wrote one step that they can take to help create a world without bullying. The powerful thing about this activity is it shows that any act of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion can make a difference and it really adds up. Now I'm really excited to share some more about what we've been working on, so come with me.

We also spent the summer creating new resources focused on creating a world without bullying. These new tools are for schools, communities, and individuals and I'll be sharing some of them in our upcoming videos so make sure to stay tuned. Another big month that we've been preparing for is October, which is National Bullying Prevention Month. Our signature day during the month is Unity Day and it falls on October 24th this year, so make sure to mark your calendars. Now we're going to wrap up this video talking a little more about what Season 2 entails so follow me. [Music] Now that you know a little bit more about what we've been up to over the summer, let's talk about Season 2 of PACERTalks About Bullying. We're so excited to jump into this season as we have some great content planned. Including international interviews, teen to teen advice, and so much more. You won't want to miss an episode so make sure to check back here every Wednesday. On that note, let's wrap up Episode 1 of Season 2. We'll see you right back here next week, and remember together we can create a world without bullying. See ya. [Music]
