The science behind No Bully
Current research in social science is busting the myth that we are born selfish. Infants in their first year demonstrate the capacity for empathy and humans are happiest throughout the life cycle when engaging in altruism and co-operation. No Bully draws upon the inherent empathy of students to create bully-free schools. To learn more about the science behind our program, visit the Greater Good Science Center at http://greatergood.berkeley.edu
Take the bullying out of sports
The messages that your students receive from sports coaches and PE instructors significantly influence their interactions throughout the school day. Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) is a national non-profit that is transforming youth sports to provide a positive, character-building sports experience for all youth and high school athletes. Live group workshops and online courses for youth and high school sports coaches, sports parents, organizational leaders and student-athletes have impacted nearly 4 million youth. More information available at www.positivecoach.org.
Take the bullying out of girls
Bullying among girls tends to take the form of relational bullying.
Middle class girls in particular tend to respond to conflict with avoidant and passive-aggressive behaviors, while maintaining a façade of niceness. Schools are being proactive in preventing relational bullying by investing in Girls Circle. Groups of 6-8 girls meet with a facilitator over eight or more weeks to share experiences and develop leadership skills to address friendship, competition, relationships, conflict, differences and power in healthy ways.
