This latest volume, which is scheduled for release January 2016, will include contributions from Dicervo and other experts in various industries that address the growing problem of bullying.

“Bullying is an epidemic and having looked at it for years, through time, kids and people in general have lost the etiquette of respect for themselves and others,” says DiCervo.  “Now kids have friends who are egging them on because they are ridiculing somebody, or physically abusing somebody, and it’s really a big problem.”

BULLYPROOF: Unleash the Hero Inside Your Kid, is a project started by Alex Changho, a martial arts professional and business coach.

“There are many programs out that are meant to help parents and kids deal with bullying,” says Changho.  “But so many of them are designed to ‘keep the peace’  or ‘reduce conflict at schools’ instead of actually addressing the real problem.  The problem is not bullying in itself.  The problem is the negative effects that bullying has on kids.  The solution is to bullyproof the individual, by empowering more people, and helping them feel great about themselves.  When inevitably the bullying happens, it will be ineffective.”

DiCervo’s involvement in the BULLYPROOF project will bring an effective, working solution to the families of Rahway, Belleville, and Howell.  Along with the release of the book, DiCervo will hold free workshops, resources, and training for the community.
