Session Summary
Some children and adolescents are exposed to risk situations that compromise their cognitive and emotional development. One of these situations is bullying, considered a risk factor that provokes damages of different intensities and that may last for long periods of time. To be protective, the school must become a consistent support network and build strategies to neutralize bullying situations. This can be effective by enabling students to confront, overcome and transform their difficulties expressing resilience and personal and group strengthening. Taking these ideas into account, a Bullying Intervention based on Positive Psychology was developed in in a public school setting in Brazil. Named #NoBullying, the intervention aimed to encourage students to become social actors and multipliers to prevent bullying. The basis of this positive intervention was the individuals positive experiences and their traits or characteristics that could foster collective and subjective resilience with final results of the well-being of communities at risk situations.
