The Bullying Intervention Toolkit

When a child gets bullied, it can be very stressful and confusing on what steps to take to get the bullying to stop. Victims of bullying at school often bear emotional scars that last way into adulthood, while the bullies themselves will often have their own deep-seated issues going on in the background that need to be addressed. The Bullying Intervention Toolkit is a handy resource to help health and education professionals get to the route of the problem, with methods that educate and heal rather than punish.

What Practices Are Approached in the Intervention Toolkit?

Some areas that are touched upon in the Bullying Intervention Toolkit are:

• Method of shared concern 
• Classroom conference
• Support group method
• Restorative chat (for both early years and older kids)
• No-blame brief intervention 
• Mediation 
• Small group discussion

Why is Bullying Prevention Important?

Bullying can threaten a student's physical and emotional safety at school and can negatively impact their ability and desire to learn. The best way to address bullying is to focus on being proactive rather than reactive, so that it doesn't start all together. People who hurt others are often hurt themselves, so it's just as important to figure out why some people pick on other and help them out, as well as help out those who are victim to bullying. 

What Does the Toolkit Contain?

• A 60-page comprehensive booklet outlining the different exercises
• Four A4-sized scripts for roleplay activities
