Most bullying can be stopped or prevented when everyone involved learns and uses core social-emotional safety skills. We teach:
- Social-emotional safety skills to be safe from bullying and cyberbullying at all ages
- Safety leadership strategies for adults to ensure that everyone in their homes, schools, and workplaces is safe from bullying and harassment
- Positive intervention and coaching skills to guide those using bullying behaviors to replace them with pro-social behaviors.
