Bully Prevention Lab Group 2024-1_edited.jpg

Establishing Bully-Free Schools Through Training, Intervention, and Policy. 

The Mizzou Ed Bully Prevention Lab was created in 2016 with the primary mission of reducing bullying among school-aged youth through skill-based interventions. We support the school-wide training and implementation of universal bully prevention interventions for K-12 schools, while providing targeted and individualized interventions for students who are at-risk for escalated rates of bullying involvement.

Our Mission

​​​​​

  • Research and evaluate school-wide and targeted bully prevention interventions in K-12 environments.

  • Implement skill-based bully prevention interventions that are grounded in social and emotional learning.

  • Design, implement, and evaluate individualized bully prevention interventions for students identified as at-risk for increased bullying involvement, including youth from traditionally marginalized populations.

  • Train school leaders, K-12 educators, preservice teachers, and community members on evidence-based bully prevention strategies, and support the development of school-wide bully prevention policies.

  • Work with state and federal legislators, centers, networks, and advocates to develop inclusive and comprehensive bully prevention policies that are designed to support social, behavioral, and academic outcomes for school-aged youth.
