Empowering Bystanders in Bullying Prevention

Author Stan Davis presents school staff with knowledge and skills for empowering student bystanders of bullying and changing schoolwide attitudes toward bullying. He provides a wide range of realistic, safe, and effective options that bystanders can use during or after bullying situations.

The approach is both research-based and practical. It provides specific techniques for teaching empathy and social problem solving skills, limiting the rewards of bullying behavior, and building a partnership between students and staff to create a positive and inclusive peer culture.
