PREVNet

The Promoting Relationships and Eliminating Violence Network (PREVNet) is a coalition of Canadians concerned about bullying.  The primary goal of PREVNet is to translate and exchange knowledge about bullying to enhance awareness, to provide assessment and intervention tools, and to promote policy related to the problems of bullying.

The website has information and tip sheets for professionals, parents and children about bullying.  PREVNet is a wonderful resource because it provides practical information based on research.  It addresses all ages of children.
