Bullying Intervention

Bullying is a form of interpersonal violence that is a barrier to learning and can lead to long term consequences that impact everyone involved including youth who bully, youth who are targets of bullying, and bystanders who witness the abuse of others (Juvonen, Wang, & Expinoza, 2010; McDougall & Vaillancourt, 2015). Bullying is typically defined by researchers and other entities like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the United States Department of Education as a situation where intentional harm is done, an unfair match exists so that there is an imbalance of power, and the bullying behaviors are repeated overtime.
