During National Bullying Prevention Month in October, inspire your patients and community to be part of the solution using creative, easy-to-use tools from the AAO including flyers, posters, pledge cards and more. Invite patients and others to sign the anti-bullying pledge to be a friend and help take a bite out of bullying. 

Go Orange on October 22 for Unity Day, which is a highlight of National Bullying Prevention month. Please show off your team’s Unity Day photos by using #bullyingbites when sharing on social media.

The AAO is excited to be lighting up cities in orange to celebrate Unity Day. Twenty-two local landmarks in the United States and Canada have agreed to display orange lighting for Unity Day on October 22 (or close to that date).

If a landmark on the list linked below is in your community, stop by during the light-up, snap a photo, and share it on social media with the hastag #BullyingBites.
