Mizzou Ed Bully Prevention Lab
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.
