Bullying Prevention

Does anyone have any experience with using bullying prevention programs at school that actually work?  I've heard about the Olweus program - http://www.clemson.edu/olweus/.What else is out there?  Has anyone seen any effective anti-bullying policies being used by schools in PA?See More

Hi - Your presentation at LCCC on Friday (19th) was excellent although too short. I could listen to you for hours. I am the one that showed you the court order. I have been trying to get C&Y to look at the law about homeless youth, youth in foster care and who signs what. It is so frustrating when I have the BECs and the information from the Education Law Center and still most people don't want to listen. HOWEVER, fellow workers did listen to you. Hopefully things will begin to change now. Thanks again!!!
