NPSC urges parents to take a stand against bullying during Parent Month 2026

KINGSTON, Jamaica — The National Parenting Support Commission (NPSC) is urging parents and caregivers to play a more active role in tackling bullying among children as Jamaica marks National Parent Month 2026 under the theme, “Parents Tek a Stand: Raise Kindness, Stop Bullying”.

Observed throughout November, Parent Month will focus on the importance of positive parenting, open communication and fostering kindness and respect to help protect children from bullying, both in schools and online.

The call comes amid growing concerns about bullying and cyberbullying, highlighted in Jamaica’s 2026 Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS).
