Anti-Bullying
Program:
creating a safe and inclusive school environment

The discussion around bullying has intensified globally, demanding effective action from educational institutions and society. Optimus Coaching Solutions , exclusive representative in Latin America of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program , highlights the importance of facing this challenge with proven strategies and a commitment to social transformation.

What is bullying and why should we fight it?

Bullying is characterized by aggressive, intentional and repeated attitudes, which aim to intimidate or attack another person for no apparent reason. This harmful behavior has a significant impact on the well-being and development of children and adolescents, and its discussion has become increasingly urgent.

Academic research and life stories highlight the need for preventive actions. Many celebrities have shared traumatic experiences, highlighting how bullying can leave lasting emotional scars. Studies indicate that victims of bullying are more likely to face mental and physical health problems in adulthood, including anxiety, depression and an increased risk of chronic diseases.

The effects of bullying go beyond the school environment, affecting mental health, self-esteem and the ability of victims to establish healthy social relationships in the future. The scientific evidence is clear: bullying is a human rights violation that requires immediate intervention.
