Workplace Bullying: A Guide for Career Counselors

Presenter: Janet Glover-Kerkvliet, LCPC

According to the Workplace Bullying Institute, 60+ million Americans have experienced, observed or been affected by repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons by one or more perpetrators on the job. Workplace bullying is abusive conduct that is threatening, humiliating, and/or intimidating. Most workplace bullying is not considered illegal and therefore cannot be prosecuted. Participants will learn about what counselors can do if a client is experiencing bullying in the workplace. Participants will learn about the upcoming formation of the Maryland Healthy Workplace Task Force (MD-HWP), which will promote the professional development of counselor professionals in expanding their ability to assist people experiencing abuse at work and uphold the honor and respect for human dignity that all workers deserve.
