Dr. Amie Grills-Taquechel, University of Houston professor, Virginia Tech Ph.D, published researcher in her field.
Dr. Grills-Taquechel will speak about her recent research on the impact of bullying. She will use data from Arlington’s 2010 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), where one in five reported they had been bullied in the last year. She will help us interpret the YRBS and other Arlington sources to help us understand the reality in our community.
