Mercer Council Endorses Olweus Bullying Prevention Program For Schools

The Olweus® Bullying Prevention Program is a comprehensive, school-wide program designed and evaluated for use in elementary, middle, or junior high schools.  It is considered to be the world’s most foremost bullying prevention program proven to reduce bullying behavior. The program’s goals are to reduce and prevent bullying problems among school children and to improve peer relations at school. The program has been found to reduce bullying among children, improve the social climate of classrooms, and reduce related antisocial behaviors, such as vandalism and truancy.  The Olweus® Bullying Prevention Program has been implemented in more than a dozen countries around the world, and in thousands of schools in the United States.   Mercer Council on Alcoholism and Drug Addiction now has a certified Olweus trainer on staff.  Call today for a free consultation – 609-396-5874.
