Bullying: State of the Art Solutions for a Very Old Problem with Q&A
Bullying is more than teasing or conflict. Olweus (1986) defined bullying as chronic, repetitive behavior intended to harm someone with less power—essentially, a repeated abuse of power. With the rise of smartphones and social media, bullying has expanded far beyond playgrounds and locker rooms. It can happen anywhere, at any time, and can have lasting social, emotional and psychological effects.
Recognizing these serious impacts, the CDC identified bullying as an Adverse Childhood Experience in 2019, citing evidence of negative effects on health and neurodevelopment (CDC, 2019). Neurodivergent and gender-minority youth are particularly vulnerable, experiencing bullying at rates two to three times higher than their peers and facing an increased risk of serious consequences, including self-harm and suicide.
This presentation will explore how bullying has changed, who is most at risk and why prevention matters. Participants will learn practical, effective strategies to prevent bullying, respond when it occurs and reduce its harmful effects at the individual, institutional and societal levels.
CEUs, CECHs, and CE Hours are available only for paid registrations.
