Bullying is a significant mental health and educational concern that has prompted federal and state legislation to thwart bullying among school-age youth. Unfortunately, much of the anti-bullying legislation is focused on the implementation of anti-bullying policies and programs in schools with limited attention devoted to how bullying should be addressed in out-of-school time programs, where children spend a significant amount of time interacting with same-age peers. The purpose of this webinar is to provide youth development practitioners with a primer on bullying. Specifically, information on evidenced-based practices for assessing bullying and information on how evidenced-based bullying prevention and intervention programs can be incorporated into current youth development program activities will be discussed.
