About Bullying Prevention for Schools
School staff play a key role in fostering healthy relationships and promoting a safe positive school environment. Students who have healthy relationships will be less likely to bully others, more likely to support students who are bullied and better able to reach their educational goals. Promoting healthy relationships is a key strategy to prevent bullying and create a safe and accepting school climate.
