The content is aimed at caregivers and any professionals or caregiving stakeholders concerned about the issue. It clarifies what bullying is, the various forms it can take and how power games are apt to play out. It also suggests courses of action that the victims, witnesses and perpetrators of a bullying situation can take. Information on the current laws, the stages to the legal process and the resources available in Quebec is also provided.
