Although the entire series, "Resolving Conflict Creatively" helps to build safer schools and communities, this award-winning video, in particular, is a very effective tool in Anti-Bullying Programs.
Healing Circles
Bullying is recognized as the most serious and wide-spread problem facing schools today. Not only does it hamper the educational process but it very often leads to victim suicide or revenge with the use of weapons.
So far educators, parents, social workers and police have not found an effective response to this problem. However, "Healing Circles" presents a model which is adaptable to the needs of distinct communities and has been used already by many diverse groups in North America.
A "healing circle" is transformative. It transforms an adversarial approach to a communal process: the goal is not to blame and segregate (or expel) but to hold accountable the offending behaviour and to help victims, and the community-at-large, deal with the psychological consequences as well.
'Circles' may be used in a variety of settings. One of them is the response to bullying. In this respect, some communities have started to use "Healing Circles" as a powerful and effective tool. They recognize that the response to bullying requires all stakeholders to be involved.

"Healing Circles" was touching and brings up (the) important question of healing rather than just punishment."
