As a student Tom was bullied, but thanks to one teacher he discovered how to become “Victimproof,” a concept rooted in resiliency and grit. Today Tom speaks internationally to educators showing how “bullying awareness policies” are not enough and advocating that schools must take a more proactive approach to social and emotional learning programs. Tom is the creator of the nationally recognized Victimproof Program, a Multi-tiered System of Support that helps prevent bullying and create a positive school climate.
