Alexandra Penn - Founder

Learning is Impaired when Children are Scared©

Alexandra Penn, founder of Champions Against Bullying and author of the Disney Parent-to- Parent award winning, Ministry of Education recommended interactive CD-ROM, “The No-Nonsense Guide To Kids’ Bullying Solutions,” is a leading expert on School Bullying/Youth Violence.  She continues to expose its enemies - the silence, denial, shame and blame that surrounds, hides and perpetuates the abuse.  Penn is an Internationally Certified Trainer in Youth Violence Prevention, a Crisis Intervention Specialist, a Parent Coach, an accomplished writer and editor, a dynamic workshop leader, keynote speaker, mother of two and founding member of the Coalition for Bullying Awareness and Prevention in Canada.  A former counselor in Special Ed at the Board of Education, Penn’s breakthrough with an autistic child initiated a video used as a teaching tool at the world-renowned Clarke Institute of Psychiatry.

A well-respected specialist in the field, Penn is known for her sass factor, warmth and insight.  Workshops and keynotes are tailored for schools - kids, parents and educators, universities, associations and corporations. She quickly puts everyone at ease, opens the lines of communication and creates a dialogue.

Penn maintains, “Children’s mental health is directly linked to their academic success and removing the obstacles that impede learning, such as fear, are crucial.  Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders – your leaders/our leaders.  It’s up to all of us to decide how we want them to evolve.  Kids need our help.  They can’t fix it themselves.  Together we can make it happen!”
