Going beyond other bullying prevention resources, Effective Bullying Prevention presents an approach grounded in evidence-based best practices, together with concrete guidance for weaving it sustainably into the fabric of a school.
The authors describe a range of ways to support the development of prosocial skills in K–12 students, make data-based decisions to respond to bullying, and build partnerships across students, staff, and families. Of crucial importance, the book explains how to ensure that bullying prevention efforts are implemented with fidelity and do not fade away over time. An in-depth case study illustrates what effective implementation looks like in the school setting.
The large-size format facilitates photocopying; reproducible tools to support implementation can be downloaded and printed for repeated use.
This title is part of The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.

"As the mental health needs of students are increasingly brought into the spotlight, bullying behaviors remain alive and well, placing our most vulnerable students at substantial risk. Fortunately, Collins and Harlacher have created a research-based, comprehensive, and practical model to help practitioners and educators find sure footing within a rapidly changing landscape. The illustrative examples and clearly defined processes make this book current and accessible to a variety of potential readers. I recommend it to professionals in any district or school seeking to develop or rewrite their student support policies.” "
