Fall 2019 Keynote Announced!

Fall 2019 ASPP/PSU Conference Keynote:

Preventing and Intervening with Bullying
 
Bullying is an issue of concern for individual perpetrators and victims, as well as the peer group, family, school, and larger society. This workshop will describe the forms of bullying that youth engage in, the factors that contribute to it, and the short- and long-term outcomes associated with bullying. The focus will be on an evidence-based framework for preventing and intervening with bullying in schools. Resources will be highlighted for implementing comprehensive school-based prevention programming. Participants will also learn strategies for working with perpetrators, victims, and bystanders.
