"Let me tell you how the … evidence has
been so positive as to create a strong momentum for more
such work in our district...and elsewhere. A very
positive effort!" -John Chambers, Superintendent
"Dr. Joel Haber has helped our community develop a
school-wide anti-bullying program. Teachers, aides and
students have learned strategies to effectively deal
with bullies and ways to support victims. Dr. Haber
possesses a world of knowledge and is able to
communicate this information to adults and students in a
positive way. Thanks to Dr. Haber the students in our
school have been taught life-long skills to help them
cope with conflict situations."
-Dr. Ellen Medd, School Psychologist
"The deleterious effects of bullying/teasing have been
witnessed by countless parents over the years. Dr. Joel
Haber's community approach to resolving this
problem has been lauded by school administrators,
teachers and the children themselves! He empowers the
children to learn and employ skills/tools that they can
feel confident using when difficult situations
compromise their safety at school. Four Winds Hospital
welcomed Dr. Haber to its conference center to present a
Grand Rounds on the "ABC's of Bullying" on two occasions
to a standing-room-only audience of 250 clinicians,
educators and parents. Thank you to Dr. Haber for
developing a caring and compassionate approach to this
chronic issue which can be applied in school settings,
summer camps, reinforced at home and applied in
alternate learning environments."
-Fran Walsh, Executive Director, The Four Winds
Foundation
"In our community there has been a growing consensus
that we need to promote character education as a part of
the fundamental, everyday culture in our schools.
In facing this daunting task, many of us attended
courses, workshops, lectures and PTO meetings taught by
Dr. Haber. As parents, we recognized the issues of
bullying, exclusion, etc. But where and how could we
start a community, school based program to address these
issues? It was clear that developing a dynamic solution
required more than just introducing a character
education program.
Dr. Haber was the catalyst who taught us the key
strategies we needed to focus on. He continued to offer
lectures and workshops to help us educate and support
parents and educators. Moreover, he facilitated an
ongoing community dialogue.
Dr. Haber empowered us throughout this process. He had a
comprehensive vision which addressed the complex needs
of students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. He
taught us, guided us, helped us maintain our focus and
inspired us to be patient."

Committee member
