Most bullying, including adult-to-adult 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
• Effective strategies for addressing disagreements, social aggression, including ‘badmouthing’, ‘backstabbing’, and gossip
• 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
  
• Strategies for families, schools, organizations and companies to create safe, respectful, and inclusive cultures that promote healthy, positive communication and that prevent harassment and other behaviors that target, isolate, distance, limit, or call out others result of race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, body size, ability, age, or other actual or perceived identities.

We provide tailored support for dealing with specific types of bullying such as social aggression, cyberbullying, adult-to-adult bullying, and prejudice-based bullying and harm.

Without adult guidance, youth online are more vulnerable to abuse, coercion, bullying, manipulation, and other harm. This is true even for digital natives more skilled with technology than their adults. See:
