Bullying Prevention and Intervention Strategies for Children and Adolescents

Course overview

Bullying is a pervasive issue that can be traumatic for the individual being bullied with long-term effects. Bullying can take on many forms, including physical, relational, cyber, and sexual. To effectively combat this type of victimization, those working with youth need to be able to distinguish bullying from other types of conflict to develop an appropriate response. This course will explore the varied roles of those involved in bullying situations of children and adolescents and explore how school-based targeted interventions and universal strategies can be effective tools in bullying prevention and intervention. The goal of this course is to provide case management/care management, nursing, social work, and psychology professionals with information on how best to prevent bullying and intervene when bullying occurs.
