Pink Shirt Day, which falls on Feb. 28 this year, is an annual event against bullying that champions kindness and respect.
It also serves as a reminder that bullying can occur at any age and have lasting impacts that last well into adulthood.
Marlie Philp, a registered therapeutic counsellor with Alight Counselling in Victoria, finds that many of her adult clients who have experienced bullying often feel highly insecure in their adult relationships and experience pronounced lasting effects.
