Reflecting on Respect: Understanding and Addressing Bullying Behaviors
At Orcas Senior Center (OSC), we are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for everyone. Creating such a community requires the participation and mindfulness of everyone. Unfortunately, bullying isn’t something that only affects children or teens. It can happen among adults, including seniors, often in subtle ways that may not be immediately recognized.
Bullying can take many forms—verbal insults, exclusion from social activities, spreading rumors, or even seemingly harmless jokes that make others feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. It can be intentional or unintentional, but its impact can still be deeply hurtful.
We ask all members to take a moment to self-reflect on their behavior and interactions. Consider if there have been times when your words or actions might have caused someone to feel intimidated, isolated, or disrespected. Are there times when you’ve witnessed such behavior but chose not to intervene or report it? Reflecting on our actions can help us all contribute to a more supportive and friendly environment.
Orcas Senior Center takes any incidents of bullying seriously, in alignment with our policy to ensure a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. If you have experienced or witnessed bullying, we encourage you to come forward and report these incidents to San Juan County Senior Services staff or Orcas Senior Center staff. Your concerns will be treated with the utmost seriousness and confidentiality.
Let’s work together to make OSC a place where everyone feels valued, safe, and respected. Thank you for your attention and commitment to fostering a positive community.
